Does this motherboard ( GA-H55M-USB3 ) support these RAM?
September 26th, 2013
so in it’s specification it says this motherboard supports DDR3 2200+/1800/1600/1333/1066/800 MHz memory modules
“DDR3 2200+ Support
Supports the latest Intel processors delivering native support for DDR3 memory up to 2200+MHz by the enhanced design of GIGABYTE.
* Please refer “Memory Support List” for memory support information”
this is my motherboard

So anyone used those DDR3 1866 or 2133 BUS DDR3 rams with this motherboard?
like these two memory modules

specifications of both this memory module say it’s “Designed for 2nd Generation Intel Core Processors and Z68/P67 platforms Optimized 1.5V low voltage for the Intel Sandy Bridge platforms Intel XMP ready Extreme 2133MHz memory speed”
will this work with my motherboard or should I just go for standard 1600 Bus memory ones to avoid incompatibility?
also does XMP memory is supported by my motherboard? confused about that too.
XMP is a bunch of made up timings which is in the chip on the memory.
Not official SPD settings.
Which CPU are you using?
Its always an idea to go to the computer shop, get those installed and use memtest 86 to do stability tests.
The chances of it working is relatively high as most machines people build don’t even use the memory listed by the manufacturer.
My processor is i5-750 quadcore and i don’t overclock my processor.
some of the reviewers were saying they can only run at lower speed(like @1600 bus) those 2133/1866 bus rams.
so do i need latest motherboard like like p67/z68(sandy bridge)?if that’s case then I will pass.
same question for “XMP, low voltage 1.5v,1600 bus DDR3 memory modules?will these work with my mobo or need new sandy bridge system?i will pass if sandy bridge is required.
You can run at the memory stated speed, you just need to adjust the divider and or maybe the voltage

thanks m8.
