will ripjawsX XMP work on amd@2133

[ninjapants]

i just want to know whether these will work on a a88x chipset @2133. I know it says 2133mhz but i had some ram before that was sold as 1600Mhz but only supported it when using Intel XMP which amd mobos obviously do not have (duh). I'm not that familiar how that stuff works, but the 2133mhz are essential for me as ill be using an apu.

[-rascal-]

Intel XMP is recognized on AMD motherboards.

 

For an example, your ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 has a setting called "D.O.C.P" in the UEFI BIOS. This stands for "DRAM OverClock Profile." It reads the XMP and sets the frequency, timings, and voltage accordingly.

 

Depending on what board you get:

• ASUS calls it D.O.C.P.
• Gigabyte calls it DRAM E.O.C.P
• MSi calls it...
• AMD's name for is A.M.P (but board manufacturers like to use their own)

 

My ASUS Crosshair V Formula board is able to read the X.M.P's perfectly fine for my DDR3-2133MHz RipJawsX kit.

(The timings are waaay too loose, so I don't bother to use the XMP. Plus, I am pushing my chip pretty hard, so I don't want XMP to automatically mess with some settings)

 

 

 

 

IMO instead of getting that particular kit that you linked to:

DDR3 2400MHz for 44.33 is hard to complain about. Cas 11 timings, and 1.65V, but you can surely reduce those -- especially if you want to get them running as 2133MHz or 1866MHz.

Basically the kit I own, but with 1.5V. You shouldn't have much issues decreasing some of the timings to a mix of 9, 10, and 11.

At the cost of 54.73.

 

 

EDIT: Oh, you are using the APU's graphics cores. Get the 2400MHz kit I linked to above, and tune a timings down...though, I doubt it will make too much difference. The higher frequency should well compensate for the higher timings.

These both cost 67 bucks where i live (austria), the price difference is literally a dollar. Which of those should i get? the ripjawsx?
