Does it use 240 pin ram?

Yes it does. The board has (4) DDR3 (DIMM) slots. You can use 1-8 gig unbuffered ECC or non-ECC DIMMS.

It uses DDR3.Taken from DDR3 wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR3_SDRAM"DDR3 DIMMs have 240 pins and are electrically incompatible with DDR2. A key notch-located differently in DDR2 and DDR3 DIMMs-prevents accidentally interchanging them. Not only are they keyed differently, but DDR2 has rounded notches on the side and the DDR3 modules have square notches on the side. [6] DDR3 SO-DIMMs have 204 pins.[7]"

1600 MHz RAM will work but will be down clocked to 1333 as the CPU's memory controller only supports running at 1333 MHz.

I run Kingston beast 2400 on mine just fine, you should have no problem. No need to overclock honestly. It supports up to DDR3-3100.

Just so people know. You have to specifically enable 1600 RAM speeds within the BIOS. Or else it will default to 1333.

Yes, DDR2 "Not" DDR3, while both are 240 pin, the locater slot on the memory chips are different.

looks doubtful. have you used the RAM tool at Crucial to ensure that you have the right RAM spec. I would suggest you use that tool and then decide.

Yes it is still compatible. Using 2400mhz RAM on a board with a lower speed just means that it will run at the slower speed.

go to crucial.com and run scan. will tell u what ram will work on your system

I want to make sure I get you the information you need. This Motherboard takes DDR3 RAM. It supports 1333mhz and 1066mhz speeds (either speed will work, 1333mhz is faster). The pinout for the RAM is 240-pin. As for brands, there are many top tier manufacturers, and at this stage in technology, it is almost a matter of preference. Some of the top tier manufacturers that I like to use in my machines are OCZ, Crucial, or Corsair. Corsair is my top preference. Corsair's Vengeance series is excellent, OCZ's platinum series is excellent, and Crucial's ballistix series is excellent. I dare say you won't go wrong with any of those 3. Let me know if you have any other questions, I'll be happy to provide any further help.

Yes. Board specs: Memory Type DDR3-800/1066/1333/1600/1800/1866 Max Memory 32GB

According to other answers, It will support up to 8GB of RAM; however, I'm not sure how it's presently configured. My guess would be 2-2GB sticks, in which case you might need to replace them both if you want to go the max.

Yes. You can use up to 32 gigs of 1600mhz non ecc DDR3. I have this ram and will always use kingston.

i bought crucial ram, the low end model. Crucial CT25664BA1339 2GB 240-PIN PC3-10600 DIMM DDR3 Memory Module it worked well. the ram you bought is 10666 while the one i bought is 10600. you can check asrock's site for details re. ram compatibility.

NOt sure, just check the Clock speed on the board, make sure it could handle 2400 Mhz Ram, not all boards can take advantage of this speed

240-pin DDR2-533 and DDR2-677 FBDIMMs can be used according to motherboard pdf...it should work
995899
Yes, this should work for you. your motherboard supports 240 pin ram and would like either 2 or 4 sticks of ram at a time. I would be careful because these ram sticks are rated for 1866ghz and your mobo is only rated for 1600. When these stick plug in, I believe they are set for 1600ghz and must overclocked to reach the maximum 1866. I hope i was helpful!

I really don't think the bar code matters! I'm thinking that what really matters is this (PC2-5300-667Mhz-DDR2 240 pin) if that's what your specs. recommended you should be okay good luck, hope that helps
