This MOBO and this RAM, Compatable?

[Kornowski]

Hi,

I'd like to double check before I order if these two products are compatable with each other...

Gigabyte GA-965P-S3

and the

1Gb Corsair XMS2, DDR2 PC5400 (667), 240 Pin, Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 4-4-4-12.


Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot man! I was getting worried then!

Just ordering it all now

Wait......let me get a link to that memory, it needs 1.9v and 5-5-5 timings. That memory adjusts itself to the 965 chipset, only certain ones do it though

What? Does that mean it'll work because I've just ordered it?

It will work. I have some OCz 1.9V DDR2-667 4-4-4-12 RAM running on my S3. It took a BIOS update to get it to boot but it's fine now. I think corsair was one of the manufacturers that didn't have trouble with non 1.8V RAM on 965 based boards so even if you have the release BIOS (F2 came on my board) it should still work fine.

Thanks, for the info
I thought the Corsair ran at 1.9v?

Well, aslong as it'll work, now the only thing I'm worried about is it detecting the SATA drive withouth me having to use a floppy, but I don't think it'll be a problem.

Thanks again
