Has anyone had much luck with OC'ing this?

That would be a good choice. It's low voltage 1600.

Did you try the other two slots?

Yes, The 1st 2 slots work, but the 3rd and 4th donot, nomatter what RAM I put in.

Took it to the shop I got the mobo from and the guys going to take a look at it. I told him the boards faulty, I think he will RMA it after he does his testing, but frankly I've had enough of that board. If he says it works fine im going break that board in 10 pieces and get something else.

Phew, finally, confirmed faulty by the shop. They are replacing it with this:

This one has USB3 built in, which is a bonus. What do you think this is like compared to my existing one(m4a88tdm-evo/usb3?

On paper they seem the same..?

Okay so FINALLY i got my new mobo on Sat and slapped my PC back together.

Working fine. No more BSOD's or anything. Able to run dual channel up to 1600mhz, cant go higher due to RAM being the issue.

ALL IS WELL Cheers for your tips guys.
