Whats is the stable config for OCing this motherboard for 2400MHz Ram? I currently have G.Skill DDR3 PC3-19200 2400MHz Trident X Series CL10

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

I have the H97Plus board and these are on the QVL, I am unable to run beyond 1400MHz with the G3258. Per ASUS XMP should allow this to run at full speed or 1600MHZ. The good news is at 1333 I can run stable with timings 8-8-8-20.

Yes. After checking, your motherboard is capable of running 1866mhz without any overclock. So you can purchase this set of RAM and all you would have to do after installing them, is go into the BIOS and manually change the speed to 1866mhz because your motherboard will be at stock settings (1600mhz on most boards). But that is all you have to do. I have two sets of the Ares and they perform quite nice. Any other questions, feel free to ask.

Yes**) Officially 10600 (1333MHz) RAM is not supported by this chipset, but empirically it always is. Mtherbrd's overclocking capabilities are rly awesome and most likely u will have this mem running @ native clocks in no time. On the other hand, u may just set it's clock to 800/1066MHz (PC6400) and have it run with lower timings but guranteed stable without overclock of CPU and without any visible effect to your system producivity.

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.

1333 Mhz will work with this board (as advetrised). I used Corsair xms3 (2x2) that I had laying around. Corsair XMS3 8 GB (2 x 4GB) 1333 MHz PC3-10666 240-Pin DDR3 Memory Kit CMX8GX3M2A1333C9These are not even on the QVL so don't let that neccesarily limit you.

Sorry, this might be getting out of my comfort level for answering and I'd hate to endorse something for you that may not work. I have installed this in two different computers at my house, both running AMD processors, and I had no issues, but as to MHz and motherboard compliance - you've got me. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

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

Can anyone provide the link for the RAM? I don't know much about computers in general and I don't want to buy the wrong ram...Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure exactly, but I have 24G of DDR3 @ 1600Mhz and never a problem.

Your motherboard may automaticaly select 10-10-10-30 or something like that. But 1600mhz ddr3 always runs best on 9-9-9-24 in bios select XMP or manualy enter the timings at 9-9-9-24. Hope this helps.

As long as the RAM is DDR3 ram, the motherboard will adjust. I never look at the voltage of the RAM just the chipset has to be DDR3 since the motherboard says it will accept DDR3 at various speeds in megahertz.

Memory becomes a fanboy issue, I've never had ram fail, and have used Corsair, Crucial, Patriot, Mushkin, Kingston ... currently I'm running 4 sticks of Patriot IEM Viper 3 @2133mhz

According to the manual it can handle some vendor's RAM up to 2400 Mhz. Suggest you visit support.asus.com and check out their info on Qualified Vendor Lists.

Over clocking. RAM with higher frequency will provide higher performance, while you may not feel it. It is very easy to setup the OC mode (with the build-in XMP profile of the RAM) of RAM in the bios. But the RAM will also works fine if you don't know or want to setup it.

I tried going with 2400Mhz for that very same setup and it turns out that the RAM voltage on the sticks was too high for the CPU. I went with 1600 afterwards and everything is stable again.
