Asus and OCZ Memory

dreamtfk · Aug 20, 2006

Is it true that OCZ memory is highly incompatible with Asus boards? I just bought a 2GB pair of OCZ Gold and I was fully intending on using it an Asus P5W DH. :bang head

These are the reviews from Newegg and they don't bode well for me unless there has been BIOS updates to fix the problem.

I have a gig of OCZ Gold running in my main rig (Asus A8V--AMD board--with newest bios) and have had no problems thus far (installed it in March).

Maybe I should have been more specific, it seems the P5W DH and P5B are the problem boards in particular.

I have platinum XTC and i can't change the memory timings at all if I over clock - don't know if it's just me in specific but I have to keep the timings on auto. However, it doesn't hold back my overclock and I still get good benches.

Well thats good hear, I always use Asus boards in my builds and didnt plan on changing now. Guess I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed, although I never removed the UPC for the rebate so I could probably still RMA it if the need arises.
