Looking for ram that dont crash my board

Looking for ram that dont crash my board
« on: May 05, 2013, 03:07:14 am »
Hello Im hoping I can get a answer for this before I leave tomorrow to get some ram. I have a GA-990FXA-UD3 with AMD's 8 core. The current ram that I have in it is causeing BSD or BSOD AKA Blue Screen of Death, with a bad memery error. The ram I have now is CORSAIR DOMINATOR GT 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 Desktop Memory with Airflow Fan Model CMT8GX3M2B2133C9. Im hoping its DOA Ram I have them in slots 1 and 3. If this ram is not the ram for this board is there a CORSAIR that is? I am using the PC to game stream and record. Right now I cant even use anything with Java. Your help is very much appreciated.

Greetings,

I have the 970A-ud3 board.  It's highest rated memory speed is 1600 and it in general will not want to run the memory over 1333.  I don't know Corsair memory so I can't help you on that.  I've been using Kingston for years with no problems.

Here's a link to the gigabyte site and the spec's for your board.  Not the memory stick recommendations.

It really is not going to matter what memory you get because anything 2000 & over you have to OC the memory.

Support for DDR3 2000(O.C.)/1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz memory modules.

It is the Cpu that is causing the problem because it only supports up to 1866.

The CPU is guaranteed to be able to run one module per channel (one dual-channel kit) at 1866 speeds.

If you run more than that, your CPU will automatically adjust the speed down to DDR3-1600 speeds.
