Question 1

Would this ram stick be compatible to this motherboard I'm going to buy? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=13-128-514

Accepted Answer

Yes. That memory is exactly what speeds it takes. You should be able to get the 2000 mhz with slight over clocking to the bios. If not it will be at the 1888mhz setting. I bought 4 of these and they are running at 1720 with minor tweaking. That's the one none cavet of amd processors if you install 2 sets of dimms in dual channel mode they will fall back to slower speeds. Wish I had known that before I upgraded with 2 more sticks or I would have found a set of 4 matched sticks. Or 2 with bigger capacity. Its working fine at 1720 and to be honest I can tell no difference than when I had the 2 sticks at 2000. GL

Question 2

I intend to replace my existing system memory , which runs at 1.5V with this memory which runs at 1.65V. Will a motherboard typically support the extra 0.15V or is there a danger of the motherboard overheating? Also, if the motherboard only recognizes speeds of 1333Mhz, will this memory run at that 1333mhz speed or will the motherboard reject this memory sticks. Thanks.
