I dont see how the bios is relevant, if it is not posting something is dead. Start with memory, switch slots eventually try stick individually if there is more than one. If u are using a kaveri it should post with no bios update since the chipset is for kaveri, if using richland or trinity also

I used this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231589 I didn't actually have much luck with this board (I'm assuming that's because it was open box though.) Are you manually clocking or RAM or just using the X.M.P.? My board was fine using the X.M.P. settings.

Sorry, I do not know, actually I still have my mine, it didn't work in my current MB, I need to get another MB, but not sure which one myself, I know the bio is different for this processor, that is why it won't work in my present MB, that has problems.

depends on the MOBO, what is the MODEL #, your board may only support 1GB RAM sticks in each slot. verify with the manual, and definitely make sure you are on the current BIOS version for the board. you need more details to be sure.....

Will it work? Yes. Perfectly fine? No. Why will it work? Because of Asrock's page for that motherboard which says Supports FSB1333/1066/800/533 MHz CPUs Supports Dual Channel DDR3 1333(OC) . Now for the not so perfect. First lets cover OC. I don't know your level of experience so I I have to cover the basics too. OC stands for over-clock. The overclock of those memory modules is done in your BIOS(setup) when you first turn on the computer . You can navigate there with Delete(usually) or F2. They will otherwise run @ 1066MHz because the Amazon page says F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL. It's a simple variable change in your BIOS. Nothing challenging. Will you get the full 8GB? Absolutely not. A 32bit Win 7 can handle a maximum of about 3.5GB but when I used these babies in my beast of a computer, BEFORE I upgraded to a 64bit OS my computer could only utilize 2GB. Your experience will vary, 8GB for for almost $80??? I spent under $60. You can upgrade to a more modern 64bit OS and the computer will automatically use the rest of the ram but you may need to adjust your memory speeds again after you upgrade or install to a more appropriate version. There are only 2 DIMM slots so no worries with installation issues.

You will need to update the bios; worse yet, you need a compatible CPU on board to do the update ( like the Trinity CPU family ).

DavidLJ48- do you have the 780i motherboard also? If you do then you shouldn't have any problems running the cpu. Have You tried upgrading your bios before you upgrade the cpu?

Here is the Comanies Product Page. Click the Tab which says CPU/Memory Support and Downloads. Download the PDF to see they mention at least a very similar model to the one you have? http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4288#

I used http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005O65JXI/ with this one, and seems to work fine this far. However, with my motherboard, http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Motherboard-Triple-Monitor-support-Windows/dp/B009L1EOKQ/ , it makes it impossible for you to install RAM in DDR3_4 slot (the one closer to CPU socket). Not a big deal for me, as I just added two 8GB modules for the 16GB I wanted, but is something you need to bear in mind (it looks like your board has more space there, but I am not sure). Also, you should consider this CPU instead: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-AD785KXBJABOX-3-7-Socket/dp/B00H7Z7YMI/ (I have been considering to sell mine CPU + motherboard to buy this one, and another motherboard that supports FM2+ socket).

I'm using a third generation cpu, but you shouldn't have any compatibility issues with the cpu, if anything you might have an issue with you're mobo. Make sure it's compatible with 2400 ram

i would try it and see if it works . i have used them before and seemed to work ok. does it fit the cpu like your other fan? if yes give it a try. and i would check your bios to see if the fan is working at or near the speed that`s normal. a lot of boards have bios that tell you the operating speed of the fan

I bought the 3.4 ghz chip. Installed and when system boots I get an error that the current chip isn't compatible. If I continue the PC runs and faster. Think the problem is that the chip 3.4 ghz is dual CPU. E520 bios doesn't support a dual CPU chip. Just my thoughts.

It should work according to the specs of this motherboard. I have this and no problems. When do you get the beeps? Before or after post? At the point of turning on the computer? Is this a new motherboard? Try removing everything but ram, cpu and video card. Go from there. If it beeps again check to make sure the ram is seated correctly. Is the cpu seated correctly? Any bent pins? Installed correctly?

Yes, I have that same processor. I replaced the original 2 - 1GB memory with 2 - 4 GM memory Corsair modules. Simple install. Have had zero problems since.

Check your motherboard specs. If the fsb is 1066 Mhz then it should match your cpu fsb also. I know 780i mobo supports 1333 and 1066 Mhz.
