I bought a 2x8 1600 and could not push it any further than 1866 increasing v and cl, stable but dissapointed with patriot oc, had a 2x4 kingston blue 1600 that could reach 2133 1,65 cl11 or cl12 i dont remember, heatsink in this patriot series is a toy, get a 2x8, its better for OC

Yes, overclocks great;update BIOS version if possible,always best to have latest drivers.

I recieved my UD3 May 15th 2012. It was a rev 1.1 with a F4 BIOS. That is the minimum for FX support. All the boards that come out now should be at that or above. I would say buy it. Very nice board. I run a FX-8150 OC'd to 4.2 at 44.8C under load.Good luck and have fun.Just remember: You never finish building your computer...you just run out of money.Update: August 2014: I just bought another for a Livingroom HTPC and it is Rev 4.0 with the latest BIOS for the Rev 4 and it is F2. I plugged in an old FX 8150 and it works great.

I have mine running 16Gb of GSkill Sniper @ 2133Mhz,... Ive had it @2400Mhz,... while an item may not be on the QVL, it could still work. Ive rarely bought items on a MoBo's QVList, as I have faithful following of certain brands and like to try new ones every now and then. The thing about this board in particular, is the seriously silly amount of voltage control you have. Theres a good chance that much voltage control could allow you to run stuff easily that isnt on the QVL. A Qualified Vendors List is solely for the VERY FEW components a manufacturer tests and promotes with,... and there are MAN MANY companies that just don't submit for QVL tests because they dont see the need.

I'm using it at apprx 5.5cfm and it's fine. Could go more but I've never needed to. I run it at 125psi

I run an AMD 8350 black at 5.0 ghz on a corsair h100i, 2 XFX R7990 black GPUs (varying the overclock) both on corsair h70s (with kracken mounting plates), and 36 gigs of Gskill Ripjaws ram with a custom fan setup I made myself, all set on a ASRock 990 Xtream 9 with a Strike x fan controller. So my answer would be a resounding yes! Also the ability to Dual power supply this beast (2 1000 watt Xigmatech PSUs) comes in extremely handy so......... BUY IT ALREADY! I'm sure you wont be disappointed if you are serious about building monsters, I haven't even started my custom water cooling loop in this thing yet and it still looks and runs cool as Antartica.

Running a Asus MB with w/16gb & 4770k chip. Experimented with running the ram at various speeds. No problems with underclocking the ram. No freezes at slower speeds. Best Wishes-Rick

The XMP wasn't part of the name, but it's in the description, Intel XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) Support is apparently one of the features of these matched DIMM sets and must allow some custom tweaking unique to Intel control chipsets. My board was the MSI 880GM-E43 and just about everything was adjustable

1amp or 1000 Ma is too weak with no headroom. What's your purpose? Is it a single! VxI=P

I will say that I OC'd this cpu to 3.9Ghz and it runs at 63°c with stock cooler. I think it's rated up to 90°c but I wouldn't run it that hot. Hope this helps out a bit.

Use OC profile 1 at your bios... it will automatically configure to use 2400 MHz Ram speed..

My experience with OC was not that great. So I often buy memory 1 level down from advertising of my mobo. 32Gb corsair work great for me.

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.
