yes 1600 cl7 ram runs nicely in this board with a little tweak
go into bios then MIT then manual system voltaeg control
make sure ram is set to its recommended voltage ie 1.65v
then adjust CPU NB VID Control up by 0.2v should get 1.3v
also depending on what cpu u want to run in this board mosfet heatsinking is recommended.
for everyone complaining about nb temps, not sure if its even ur nb thats at 80c
but i'll hopefully know once i get something on these mosfets
hope this helps
