hi guys, i've got a question about this motherboard i've seen its supports DDR3 O.C. up to 1600, but since Phenoms support only 1333.. will it be any problems if i buy DDR3 1600 RAM or i should go for 1333 instead

i currently have my sig rig but i plan to upgrade to DDR3 so any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks in advance

I would go for DDR3 RAM.

Specifically one of these kits

There was another platinum AMD edition earlier with CL7 1600, but cant see that around anymore.

The rule of thumb is, if you have a 965/955 BE go for the 1600 Mhz kits. If you plan to use a 550/720, stick with a 1333 CL6. The reason for this SEEMS to be that the lower and mid end phenoms dont have a strong enuf IMC. I cant get to 1600 on my 720be...am getting a 965, so lets see how that goes.

Things to keep in mind:

Voltage at 1.65 or lower
CL7 or CL8 on 1600, dont go above that.

dont get that amd kit, its just marketing, its a mediokre set.

get a nice low latency 1333 set as phenoms respond better to low timings

thanks for the info! i could buy a 1600kit and downclock it to 1333 then and maybe later i could buy a Quad +rep
