Okay so basically I've ordered this RAM: http://www.ocztechnology.com/produc... For this motherboard: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products... It stated in the features region that it supports "native support for DDR3 memory up to 1800MHz" so I initially thought it would be compatible with the memory I'm getting, however after I read the specifications page "Support for DDR3 1800 (OC)/1666/1333/1066 MHz memory modules". I'm confused; it lists higher support from 1666mhz and 1800mhz at overclocked memory but it doesn't list 1600? Can someone clarify on this, thanks.

I think you better check your Gigabyte link...

We have no idea which CPU & which motherboard you have. But since you already ordered the RAM, what's the point of asking after the fact?

http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products... And I haven't orderd my motherboard yet.

And I have AMD ll X4 965

"And I haven't orderd my motherboard yet" sound like you are picking the board, based on the ram? this is the reverse, of the correct way. larry

"And I haven't orderd my motherboard yet" Why would you order the RAM before you ordered the board?? "I have AMD ll X4 965" Which means a Phenom II X4 965 Deneb Black Edition. It's a 125W (possibly 140W) CPU so make sure you have a damn good power supply. "I'm confused; it lists higher support from 1666mhz and 1800mhz at overclocked memory but it doesn't list 1600? Can someone clarify on this" The Phenom II only officially supports up to DDR3-1333. You can run higher rated RAM, but testing has shown that DDR3-1333 generally scales the best. http://techreport.com/articles.x/16382 http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews... Did you download the motherboard manual or check out the memory compatibility list? You can run DDR3-1600 at it's rated speed but you *may* have to manually configure the memory settings in the BIOS. RAM that's rated higher than DDR3-1600 will automatically underclock. See chart: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/FileList... http://europe.giga-byte.com/FileLis...
