Yes I did notice that last year when I side graded to an i7 3770. I was going to get a 990fx but theywere about the same price as the i7 3770 and DQ77MK I have now. It made more sense to abandon ship and wait out Ryzen. I'm building this for my step son. He has been using an A6 5200m. Quad core...

I have to OC the BCLK to 214mhz. Then it runs on auto @ ddr3 2000. Otherwise XMP 1, the only profile this board can see, defaults to 1866. And that's where I am right now. 8gb DDR3 1866. I'm going to update the bios, there is one more I can update to and hopefully that'll be it.

Ordinarily I'd be inclined to agree, however I can get all 4 sticks identified and running at that speed. Just not all the time. 1 out of every 3 power ons black screens. I'm trying to get it stable however this board is finicky. When I try increasing ram voltage manually it rarely boots. Even...

I have 2 x 4gb GSKILL DDR3 2000 1.55v I have 2 x 2gb GSKILL DDR3 2000 1.60v I want to get all 12gb running on a Gigabyte 970a-Ds3p with an fx 8350. The FX 8350 has a boost overclock of 4.5ghz and base overclock of 4.2 ghz which performs well. No matter what I do, I can't get past DDR3 1600...

After some thorough searching it's either a low density thing that g41 chipsets deal with or they went cheap on the board and didnt run enough lines for more than 4gb. I'm ordering 256 x 16 4gb modules. If it works great, if not I have to sell this machine along with my daughters old laptop to...

Working on a Lenovo Ideacentre B500. It has 2 - 204 pin DDR3 SO-Dimm slots, processor is a Q8400s (Desktop CPU) w/1333 mhz fsb but the board has 2 x 2gb Micron DDR3 1066 in it. I tried, each individually and seperate, a GSkill DDR3 1333 2 x 4gb kit, Micron 2 x 4gb DDR3 1600 kit, SK Hynix 2 x 4gb...
