XMP ram and AMD cpu

[LukaH]

Hello everybody

 

I'm currently in the market for some new ram and i have my eyes on the following kits:

 

http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vengeance-16gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz16gx3m4a1600c9

 

and

 

http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f3-12800cl9q-16gbzl

 

(i'd prefer to get the corsair ones because of the color)

 

anyway so i was wondering the kits are xmp enabled does that mean that i will have trouble running it with an amd cpu or it's more of an option if you have an intel cpu turn on xmp if you don't don't even bother? Because i used to have 8gb of kingston ram it was xmp enabled and it caused blue screens or failed boots i even had to press the mem ok button on my mobo to get it to run and even then it would run on weird voltages and frequencies. The manual of my mobo says they would both be compatible but i'd still like if someone could verify that it will run fine before i buy it.

 

Specs are:

 

mobo: asus m5a99fx pro rev 2

grafics: 2x gigabyte radeon 7950

cpu: amd phenom II 965

ssd: cruical bx100 250gb

sshd: seagate laptopthin 500gb

 

thank you for reading and even more for replying

No, you will find some AMD motherboards will still have options to set the ram to XMP mode. If not do it manually yourself.

so I will not run into any trouble running any of the two kits?

I can only speak for my sabertooth, but there's an option to enable XMP profiles in the BIOS.

 

As said above, you can also set them manually.

ok i ordered the corsair kit since nobody directly said anything about not being compatible

 

so fingers crossed and thank you all for the help

XMP is an Intel thing
