erokone Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Is the new Dominator Platinum DDR3 1866 CMD16GX3M4A1866C9 compatible with the SABERTOOTH 990FX AMD (AM3+)? I see down at the bottom of the DP description page, Contents and Specifications >> System requirements, that it's compatible with Intel platforms but I don't see anything stating it's compatible with any AMD platforms.

peanutz94 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yes, they are compatible. However the actual frequency you are able to reach will be CPU dependant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erokone Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 hey peanutz94 thanks for responding. are you 100% certain the DomPlat's will work with the Sabertooth 990FX? only reason i'm worried is i have a friend who said it's not going to work since the compatibility specs specify Intel platforms only. i also purchased the AMD 8150FX which should be able to utilize the full 1866. might need to tweak some things from what i've read, but not sure yet.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted July 24, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yes they are compatible and as mentioned the speed they will run at is solely up to the CPU and on an AMD I would set the memory Voltage to 1.6 Volts and set the CPU/NB Voltage +.1 Volts over default.

peanutz94 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 i have a friend who said it's not going to work since the compatibility specs specify Intel platforms only. Tell your friend he's wrong! :P As long as the modules meet the basic requirements for your system they will work. They state they work on Intel machines , but that does not mean intel only. Most compatibility lists and QVL's are just a list of modules that HAVE been tested. And just because a certain part number does not show up there, does not mean they wont work. It's impossible to test every module with every MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted July 24, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted July 24, 2012 I agree and I am sorry but your friend is wrong I have a set of these modules running an AMD system now, just not at the rated speed of the memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsychoShade Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 990FX Boards are compatible with new Platinum series. i use cmd16gx3m2a1866c9 on my ga-990fxa ud5. cpu is amd fx-8150. running with 9.9.9.24 2t at 1600mhz; 1,65V; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmanico Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I currently have 2x8 GB 2400 MHZ CL10 Dominator Plat running on my Crosshair V Formula Z with my FX 8350, and I also had the ram installed in my 8150/Crosshair V Formula which also ran perfectly at advertised speeds. I simply chose DOCP and selected the profile for the 2400Mhz. IT seems QVL list are a basic listing of tested modules, it would take far too long to test every single hardware configuration.
