Will My Motherboard Support These Parts?

November 1st, 2013

I’ve got these parts in my shopping cart on Newegg and it all looked good to me, but my friend came over the other day and made me doubt the compatibility of some of the parts.
Mainly, he said my ram wont work with my mobo, but I didn’t see why not.

Also, here is a link to the MOBO at Asus website:http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3/M4A89GTD_PROUSB3/

Answer #1
You might have issues with that RAM getting it to POST.
Answer #2

4 x DIMM, Max. 16 GB, DDR3 2000(O.C.)/1333/1066 ECC,Non-ECC,Un-buffered Memory
I saw the DDR3 2000 and assumed that DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) would work.
Is that wrong?
Answer #3
I will say that if 2000 will work, and 1333 will work, then 1866 will work. However from what limited experience I have, I would say that You’d be safer with 1600 if you are not familiar with overclocking and manually changing voltages in BIOS.
I know enough to know that I don’t know.
Answer #4
1600 will scale a bit if you know how to tweak the memory divider.
1333 for the hassle free operation.
The AMD CPU’s of that series are designed to work with 1333Mhz officially on AMD’s website.
Answer #5
I have the 1866 in the computer, however it says it’s running 1333Mhz.

That’s because your processor defaults to 1333, you need to configure your BIOS settings.
1866 is OC, therefore; you gotta OC to get that.

Either overclock or just use the Memory Divider.
The memory divider is the easiest.
With some thought, you can get a good setting that will improve a bit of throughput in benchmarks only.
