both boards original revisions show up on the qualified list for gskill. memory manufacturers typically test compatibility more than motherboard makers do.

Reading the specs on both mobo's it appears the 1600 is supported. The ram is 1.5v which fits the spec as well. Nothing stands out that says the memory wouldn't run on both. Unless someone else has experience or sees something I missed.

cheers guys, that clears that up, i just couldnt see on the official page that any of them worked but that link to g.skill shows that it'll work on both which is awessome!!!

one more thing, which mobo would you recomend out of these? .... i think the Asrock is better but i've heard some people on the forums say that Asrock isnt a good brand? claification on this'd be nice

All based on experience. My impression is that Asus has been having some issues in the recent past and that given their higher price point people are not very happy. I think the ASrock will do fine and if the features fit your needs and its less expensive give it a shot.
