Thread: Ripjaws on a AM3 Mobo?

no they will work with AM3 boards. Quite well in fact. Its just that the i7/i5 is more popular and especially with the i5/i7 being released on the 1156 socket. Marketing really.

Nice choice of board, cheaper in price and get almost all the finesse of the 790FX boards. 790X is just awesome.

are you sure? is just a stunt to make people buy them for their p55 boards or what? or is it because of the voltage limit? i am not gonna overclock the memory.

yeah I am sure. My G Skill Tridents said the same thing from the newegg site. It just lets you know that the new it platform out, 1156 corei5/i7. this memory will work in it no problems. All DDR3 is pretty much set at 1.65V anywho, or around there. I actually have mine at 1.62 in the Bios for the PC3 12XXX DDR 1600 settings. It will be fine.

okay F*** it then i'm gonna go for it, + if they work i can buy another set from a friend for a very nice price ^^

Thats a nice looking board, and the color scheme is going to look awesome. Nice choices

actually AM3 does not have a voltage limit like i7 does i have that exact mobo its pretty good for the price! just got it last friday voltage regulation is great, nice set of options on the back and looks really good, kinda chocolate brown with nice blue tones

Those ripjaws will serve you well, especially with the nice heatsinks on them and low profile. I dare say you should have no issues with clearance of any kind.

i will be using a small water cooling kit just for CPU så no probelmo sir
