    GIGABYTE 870A-UD3 AM3 Motherboard Review Comment Thread

    Sorry for delayed reply... it was F2 BIOS. The OCZ that you have doesn't play well with Gigabyte motherboards. A buddy of mine ended up RMAing his set as well. I can't remember if he exchanged for another set that works at 1.8V or he kept trying until it worked. AMD motherboards like high...

    Is any memory tested for AMD?

    Hold that thought actually. I went and ordered the Patriot EK series from Newegg, and paired it with a 1090T with a 870A-UD3 motherboard. The end result? No BEMP available for download. What a scam!:angry2: Hopefully it is just the motherboard that is unsupported, or it will be supported soon.

    Is any memory tested for AMD?

    I am going to purchase those Corsair Dominator modules as well, so I will be in the exact same boat as you with the 1090T. If you download AMD overdrive, there should be a tab shown here: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition PCSTATS Review - AMD Overdrive 3.0 - Black Edition Memory Profiles...
