I'm planning on buying a GA-MA790XT-UD4P with an AMD Phenom II X3 720. The QVL list is very short, incomplete, and consists of mostly poor latency & overpriced RAM.
Am I crazy to buy something like this: OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail? It's dirt cheap, has good timings, and gets great reviews, but it's not on the QVL list.
I'm also a little concerned that it's described as being "Designed specifically for the Intel X58 chipset / Core i7," which I don't have.
If this choice won't work, what would you recommend?
