could DDR3 1866 memory work in this board? and would it just cap it to 1600 if so?

The specifications on the Asus website state that it can handle DDR3 1866 memory and all the way up to DDR3 3000.

It will run 1866, I have 8GB of G.skill RipjawsX that runs at 1866 according to cpu-z.

As far as i can tell, unless your DDR3 1600 memory has some REALLY weird cooling apparatus on it, it should be fine. I put Corsair DDR3 1833 into my machine and it fit perfectly satisfactorily.

You should look on Crucial's website and do their RAM finder. See if the specs for the compatible RAM they find match the specs of this product.

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

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.....

This board only supports DDR3 2133/1866/1600/1333 MHz You can see a list of compatible memory here http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/memory/?compatible_with=msi-motherboard-a88xg43

Yes, the maximum memory bandwidth that Motherboard supports is 2400 mhz. Therefore 2133 mhz should be simple to achieve, just do the usual Bios changes and it should accept it without any issues.

It looks like your motherboard uses DDR3, but only supports up to 1333 mhz; these would be overkill, as your ram would downclock from 1866 mhz to 1333 mhz, so save yourself some money and buy the cheaper 1333 mhz ram

Yup - DDR3 memory. Read through the reviews to see what memory others have used.

Yes -- This Mainboard is listed in the documentation as accepting (2) DDR3 800/1066/1333 MHz DIMMS at 4Gb each for a total of 8Gb max memory

Best bet is to E-mail Corsair and ask, they should be able to tell you right off. Most memory does work, its going to be more at what speed it will run. That depends on your processor also, so there is a few things to consider. Best answer I can give you is yes probably, but at what speed?

i bought crucial ram, the low end model. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NA25VS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 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.

Your system board will only accept up to 1600mhz. This memory is 1866mhz. It is not compatible.

Yes, it is compatible. - Dual Channel DDR3 memory technology - 2 x DDR3 DIMM slots - Supports DDR3 2600+(OC)/2133(OC)/1866(OC)/1600/1333/1066 non-ECC, un-buffered memory According to manufacter, it can handle DDR3 RAM in 1600MHZ and a max amount of RAM of 8GB, so, according to manufacter specifications, it will work with no problem. According to the previous anwser, the list he metions was made when the Motherboard was new in the market, so probably this model of Kingston wasn't available at the time

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