Have a friend with an ASUS M5A88-M EVO Motherboard with an AMD Phenom1100T and try as I may I cannot find a brand that will fit the bill. We want to fit a 2x4GB kit - 8GB 1600MHz at a reasonable price as well.





G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM



G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM



G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM I bought some G.Skill F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM 8GB only to find that it was meant for Intel boards. So any help would be most appreciated as it is for an unexpected Christmas pressie.

Just as matter of interest I stuck these sticks into my Gigabyte H67 board and I thought the board was limited to 1333MHz but it flies!! Would I be doing any harm - SIW tells me the speed is 800MHz as opposed to the original 667MHz.
