I have a M4A87Td EVO running 8 gb of Kingston HyperX pc1600 (2gbx4). Well attempting to run.
I think I am going to swap the mother board out for one of the two listed above. From what I read some people believe that they will handle the 1600 Mhz memory a little better. My father and I both have the same boards and are experiencing boot problems with that ram. I Do not want to give up the 8gb of ram I already have. Is it worth the upgrade if the money is not an issue to go to the 890 chipset from the 870.
I guess my real question is the powermanagement, overclocking ability, and quality of one far better than the other or should I just try to work with the m4a87td i have.
rest of the system specs for the unstable box are as follows..
