Hello all.
I'm helping my friend upgrade his system and since his mobo chipset is almost the same as mine I thought I'd experiment a bit.
I want to see if my unknown brand - Magic Pro - is any match for the mighty Asus (M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3). The Magic Pro has an AMD 890GX/SB850 chipset while the Asus has an AMD 880G/SB850. I'll be fitting out both our systems with almost identical components.
I'll be installing a 1090T in both systems. My question is about ram. Can I use DDR3 1600 ram for our systems? I know that AMD only supports DDR3 1333. The specs of the motherboards say the following:
Asus - DDR3 2000(O.C.)/1333/1066 Hz ECC, Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory.
Magic Pro - DDR3 DIMM slots, up to DDR3 1333/1600 (OC) memory setting.
I'm thinking of getting 8GB of G.Skill RipjawsX F3-12800CL9D-8GBXM (4GB x 2). G.Skill says that the RipjawsX were specifically made for Sandy Bridge. Will The RipjawsX work on our AMD systems?
Thank you.
