ASUS P6X58D Premium Question

JDawggS316 · Apr 1, 2010

I'm noticing on this board if supports DDR3 2000 (OC) memory. I understand this to say that this board supports this even though the standard maximum is 1600.

If I were to purchase the following memory kit would I have to do anything myself for my board to recognize it at its stock 2000 MHz?

Well you just have to OC the memory.
But since your probably going to OC the CPU it shouldnt be a problem.

When you OC the i7 it will OC the ram as well. Sometimes you need to change the mem multi to bring it back down to 1600 etc but if you are using 2000 you wont need to adjust it as much.

But leaving everything @ stock it will run @ 1600mhz.

The only other thing, I'd make sure you have enough room for ram with such high heat sinks. That type of ram tends to get in the way of the heat sink.

So if I purchase the memory kit (link in first post) @ 2000 MHz stock I will have to enter the BIOS in order for it to reach that particular speed?
