Stiner Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Greetings. I'm thinking about buying this memory, TW3X4G1600C9DHX. The board I'm using is the XFX 790i Ultra SLI. This memory is listed as compatible, but some have said that certain settings need to be changed if one is to run with 8gigs which is the maximum the board will run. So, if I buy two kits of this memory, my questions are A: Will they all fit? B: Are there any settings that will need changed or tweeked? (i.e. voltages, FSB, timings, advanced timings, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 24, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 24, 2009 Physically the memory will fit and it should run just fine but, not necessarily at 1600. Some MOBOs can do it and others cannot and it varies from individual board to board and is determined by the memory controller. You will need to set the memory voltage and timings manually and also likely need to increase the memory controller voltage to 1.4v or so. If it is not stable at 1600, I'd suggest you fall back to 1333 and try to clock it up manually from there and find your maximum stable speed.

Stiner Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Ok, thanks for the advice. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to OCing, but I'm learning. All I really want is just to get it all stable. Just so I know what to look for, the Memory controller... is that the same as the FSB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 24, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 24, 2009 NO FSB stands for Front Side Buss. Meaning the memory or CPU Frequency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
