Hello,
I have an Athlon II 630 processor running with some DDR3 1600 memory. I've read numerous postings around the net alluding to the fact that AMD Athlon II CPU's cannot run with DDR3 memory over 1333, and that the board will automatically underclock the memory if it is set any higher. Is this accurate, is there no reason to set the memory to anything above 1333 for Athlon IIs.
