I just ordered this motherboard and it says in the ram info something like O.C 1600 and up does this mean I have to over clock just to use that speed?
which Mobo is it ?
970"extreme 4
- Supports DDR3 2100(OC)/1866*/1800*/1600*/1333/1066/800 non-ECC, un-buffered memory
*1866/1800/1600MHz memory speed is supported depend on the AM3/AM3+ CPU you adopt. For detail CPU specification, please refer AMD official website.
To get to 2100, you will have to overclock your CPU.
I was planning on sticking a fx 6300 into it.
I have the same board. I just had to set the ram speed to 1866, which is what my ram is supposed to run at, in the bios. Its not so hard
how do you like it?
