HI all,
Assembling my first PC, so I have all the parts ready, or so I thought when I realized that the motherboard manual flat out doesn't include the frequency of the memory I bought. It was advertised as ""DDR3 up to 2200 MHz" I also am confused about weather I can install 3 x 2 gigs (because I have three memory sticks) and if the voltage will be an issue (on the memory it says 1.65 V and the mother board manual states 4 x 1.5 V)
This is the mother board I got
http://www.gigabyte.us/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=3254 (GA-P55A-UD3 (rev. 1.0))
and this is the memory

To summarize:
1. Is the frequency going to be an issue for the motherboard?
2. Is it ok to have 6 gigs?
3. Is the voltage going to be an issue (motherboard states 1.5V while the memory requires 1.65V)
I would appreciate the response. I fear I have made a mistake and want to confirm before I have to return the memory.
