So there is a difference between the supported memory for the board and the CPU but I would focus on what is supported on the processor. XMP version 1.2 performance profile support is required for memory speeds above 1333 MHz or use of manual adjustments Minimum total system memory: 1 GB using 512 MB x16 module Unbuffered, non-registered single- or double-sided DIMMs with a voltage rating of 1.65 V or lessġ6 GB maximum total system memory (with 2 Gb memory technology).

Three independent memory channels with interleaved mode support

Now for supported memory on the board you are look at.įour 240-pin Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) connectors with gold-plated contacts arranged in two channelsġ600+/1333/1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM Memory Modules So for the processor you are looking at DDR 3 memory 800/1066 at 1.5v ±5% (1.425v to 1.575v) being supported on the board. Now both of these actions are likely to void for your warranty but the using high voltage memory stands a much higher chance of damaging your processor then running faster memory. Now if you put memory on the board that is 1.65v + there is a chance that you are going to damage the processor's memory controller. DDR 3 1333, 1600, 1833 etc.) on the board if the board supports and do so without much of a problem it would still be overclocking. I am saying that you can put faster memory (i.e. Michael: I understand but we do not recommend that memory since later on it could damage the memory controller : same frequency like the kingston i have right now? : so I can still get those 4 g.skill rams to run on my system? : right now i'm running on Kingston 4gb DDr3 1333 For more memory specifications please go here: Michael: I recommend to get memory that is DDR3-800/1066 at 1.5v. : I went over to the tested memory section Michael: but either blue or black memory slots are the same Michael: you have to populate the blue memory slots first : there are 3 blue ram slots and 1 black ram slots Thank you for using the Intel Customer Chat Support service. What G>Skill Memory should I buy? I just live chatted a intel agent and this is what he told me.

Blue or white slots for ram
