Has anyone installed g.skill ripjawsx (2x8mb) memory on this motherboard? i am using memory at max speed of 2133mhz which seems to cause pc to crash.

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.

My computer works fine with the original 1gb ram chip so I am wondering if it was the 2gb chip I installed that caused the problem. I originally bought the crucial 800ghz module rather than the 667 as I had read that it would not cause any problems even if the computer could not fully use the 800. The Asus website does not even list this computer, let alone the memory recommendation so I am at a loss. I returned the 800 to Amazon but hate to replace it with the 667 in case that is not the correct memory either. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Yes it does. If you are simply moving these sticks from another computer (trying to save money) that is fine. However, if you are purchasing new memory sticks right now to accompany this board, I would strongly recommend that you buy something a little faster than 10666. I personally use the G.Skill Ripjaws X Series DDR3 1866 PC3-14900 (model number is F3-14900CL8D-8GBXM). The 14900 frequency is significantly higher *and* they have low CAS latency for their class with a great price point. In short, they are high performing sticks that are relatively cheap.

Hi!I using this set with second generation - i5-2450M 2.5GHz CPU.Runs OK. Also My friend bought set of 16Gb (8x2) of same Corsair memory. He has first generation i5-740 CPU (Sony VAIO, made in 2010). After installed to his PC BIOS shows 16gigs but OS fails to start. CPU-Z shows that his HM55 Chipset doesn't support higher speed memory such as this DDR3-800Mhz. It supporting lower speed DDR3 memory. So, I think you system will not work with this model memory... Anyway you have to check. Maybe you have another chipset. Or check BIOS updates on manufacturer site.

Ripjaws doesn´t work in this board, 775 boards wichever brand have problem with 4GB Ram, they don´t work with any RAM.

ANDREA B., The motherboard can support up to 32GB of memory. Please note that proper installation of memory or any component that does not damage the system will *not* void the warranty.

I don't understand your question. I can tell you that I replaced a set of G.Skill Ripjaw series X of the same type of memory with this Kingston Hyper X and it runs much better. I had nothing but trouble with the G.Skill.

A quick search on Gigabytes website brought me to the QVL. I do not see this memory being supported. However that does not mean the memory won't work fine, it just means your manufacturer has not tested this memory(yet). Try checking with Gigabyte directly, or see if they have any forums to ask on. Maybe other Gigabyte users can give you a better response. You will probably be asked what revision your particular board is(v1, v1.2, v2 etc...) Also, check to see if the board came with a manual. Or even the disk, will sometimes contain a .pdf. QVL lists are usually shipped with the boards in some way, at least every board I've ever purchased has had one... Good luck!

I have this MB, and it absolutely refuses to work with all 4 slots filled. Didn't realize I had one of the "bad" ones until I tried to move to a 4x4Gb ram setup. Only the two ram slots farthest from the cpu work. But I love this board enough to be here shopping for a second one - makes a great fakeMac.

Hello Kathleen, Please let me know your motherboard brand and I will help you. I am using EVGA GT520 1GB Video Card with the same processor, but We need know is the motherboard has the slot for this card. Let me know the model of your computer or ask where you bought if your PC has a free slot ready for this card. If anything more, please let me know it Have good night.

Where did you hear that? All you will need to do is set the RAM profile to XMP in the BIOS immediately upon first boot, and you should be fine. The motherboard supports 2400 when properly OC'd, which is what XMP will do. Go for it!

I have the same motherboard you do, but I upgraded my cpu to the 3770k. I used this Corsair Dominator Platinum RAM, and I use the GeForce GTX 670 OC. I don't have any stability problems. Games never crash on me. Other memory would say that it was rated at a high speed, and I'd set it to XMP and it would let me, but on reboot, ASUS would give me a warning message that the overclocking failed. This is the only memory that actually runs stably for me at the higher speeds. That's why I was happy with paying a bit more for it. I'm actually toying with the idea of getting another pair to make it 16gigs. It runs great on that awesome motherboard. I have the same motherboard you do, but I upgraded my cpu to the 3770k.

Depends on what it's use is for. Games don't take advantage of 2133 mhz+ unless you're using AMD APU. If you're video editing, etc then speed is good for throughput but this is the wrong board for that with only 2 DIMM slots. In my M6I I got Gskill tridentx 1600mhz but Gas latency 7 not the usual 9 or 10.... Just a thought

Its actually server memory, so it will only work on a server motherboard . NOT on a regular motherboard .

Your motherboard has to be compatible with 4GB Sticks of Ram Memory (Most are not, normally 2GB is max for simple desktop home systems (My system is a Server - Memory hogs!). As far as memory goes, the more the better especially if you do graphics. Hope this helps you! 4GB total will do you right normally!

It should be. I believe you are referring to the memory here. It is just that if you wanna use memory higher than 2133 Mhz you're gonna have to... in ROG lingo, "tweak" your motherboard.
