Muhad Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I have an Asus Rampage II Extreme mobo with the 2002 bios. I don't need a newer bios because they are only related to newer cpus. I need to get more memory so I am interested in purchasing 'CMT12GX3M3A2000C9'. Will this memory run at speed on my mobo? :confused: Windows 7 Prof. x64 i7-965EE @4.0 I currently have Corsair 'CMG6GX3M3A1866C7' and one stick is acting up. This memory has been running at 1866 for many moons. Since I only have 6gb now I wish to get 12gb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 It will depend on the strength of the memory controller in your CPU. The only way too know is to try them. If you can get 1866mhz running smooth , you may have a chance. You may want to update your BIOS anyway even though it says it for newer CPU's they often add compatibility for newer modules too. ASUS is very poor about BIOS update details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muhad Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Well I got this memory, 'CMT12GX3M3A2000C9', and it works great. Currently running at 1866. System seems to be somewhat faster than before, only having 6GB before. Another happy camper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
