Are a good set of fast Ram
 Used with AMD A10-7850K Kaveri in a ASRock FM2A88X Extreme4+
No troubles by now. Technical advice... if you going to use it with a Kaveri a10 maybe your board need a bios update. If you mounting a A-10 before first start reset bios or no video signal will occur.

Question 2

i have a biostar ta970. first, how is this different than any other ram, what is the 6gb ramdisk all about? most importantly my mobo, supports only up to 2000mhz. will this run at a lower speed? and do you have to have a radeon r9 video card to benefit from this memory? i have a hd radeon 7870ghz 2gb, will this benefit my graphics at all?

Accepted Answer

Yes it will run at a lower speed, with most motherboards to get the ram to 2133 you have to overclock. 
The 6gb ramdisk is from installing AMD's ram disk software. It allows you to turn your unused ram into space to save files to load them faster then a standard HDD. 
No you do not need to have a r9 video card to use this ram. I still have a HD 7870 in my system.
