XMP memory on an AMD motherboard

[Olly5041]

Will I be able to use Corsair vengeance pro xmp 2400mhz on an amd motherboard.

on AMD motherboards instead of XMP it should be DOCP or EOCP

Some AMD motherboards support XMP profiles, some don't.

In my experience, Gigabyte 970 and 990 chipset boards do, but Asus boards do not (they will let you look at the profile written to EEPROM, but you have to configure the settings manually)

Not sure about other brands of AMD boards. I'm pretty sure that anything pre900 series chipset is unlikely to have XMP profile support.

---------

The ability to use the memory, and the ability to use the XMP profile, are separate issues. Generally you can use any DDR3 you want in an AMD build, but anything profiled with a 2400MT's speed would be pretty pointless IMO as running that speed requires overclocking and overvolting the CPU-NB anyway, which is counter-productive to performance in the grand scheme of things (the same thermal dissipation spent overclocking the CPU will generate more performance scaling).

Big question is what CPU first and second what mobo? With a strong 8350 or 8370 you can prob run 2400, a CPU OC will prob be required. Most AMD mobo use DOCP (the favored flavor of DRAM OCing, and others use EOCP, some use XMP and some use AMP. DOCP and EOCP both read the XMP info from the SPDs of the sticks and then are programmed to assign timings per their BIOS programming, I.e. the Crosshair Formula under DOCP takes 2400/10 DRAM from it's XMP profile (10-12-12- 31) and configures to it to 10 (or 11) -13-13-35. For most folksw/ a 8350/70 I recommend up to 2133/9 as a max

i am using an a10 7850k and a asus x88x-gamer.

You can disregard my comments about the 2400 speed memory on AMD as it doesn't apply to the FM2+ platform. Running 2400MT/s on FM2+ is pretty straight forward usually, and most of those boards should support XMP profiles.
