[Avenger1978]

Hi is this ddr3 memory ok? FSB : DRAM 1:4. 9-11-11-29-40-2T....I just put it to 1600 from 1333 it feels stable enough but is they any long term damage im new to all this overclocking Thanks

The most important thing is not to have BSOD's. The problem it will be if you raise to much the voltage of your RAM.

What are your full specs?

RUN Memtest and PRIME95 for a few hours to check stability.

After replying to you i got the BSOD so i put it back to 1333.Also after reading about the amd 955 it says the cpu have problems with 1600 ram so i think i should stick to 1333

You might need to increase your RAM voltage to get it to run above 1333MHz. If your memory voltage is currently 1.5v then you could try increasing it a little, up to 1.65v and try increasing the frequency again.

Either way there isn't a significant difference between 1333MHz and 1600MHz in 95% of all applications and that 5% isn't used too often so it's no big deal if you can't go over 1333MHz.

The main reason it is recommended to buy 1600MHz memory is just because it is within the same price range as 1333MHz memory so there is no reason to not get it instead the 1333MHz memory.
