Thanks. Quote SUCCESS is a decision, NOT a dream. You have to name the price you are willing to pay to get it. "You didn't have an ice pick on you? Amateur. " -- Wax from Fchat.

iTech Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 This seems a week or more old but You can go to Crucial and "Scan My System" and they'll give you some compatible RAM for your computer.

newls1 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) obviously the OP's motherboard is a DIY type brand like asus/gigabyte, etc.... cause it says OC for ram options! So for all of you telling him to call a place and ask, or go to a website to check compatability, all that is pointless. Those compatability charts, pages, etc.... MEAN ABSOLUTLY SHIT! All that means is that a company paid to have there name on a chart, or in a book, nothing else. To the OP, YES YOU CAN RUN DDR1600 ram, on that board, you need to adjust the mem timings/settings in the BIOS for it to be optimal...... And dont forget the voltage settings as-well. Most newer sets of ddr3 are in the 1.65-1.8VDimm range, so start there.....
