Memory/mobo Q

[serv]

Howdi guys`n gals, im just not sure if the memory im looking at for my new rig will be the correct speed for my mobo:

 

mobo specs:

 

Supports dual channel DDR 266/333/400, using four 184-pin DDR DIMMs

 

memory im looking at:

 

OCZ Gold Series EL PC-4000 with Voltage eXtreme technology

 

can anyone help me out here, dont want something that i aint going 2 get the best out of..

 

P.S i know this memory is best at an above average voltage, so i dont mind OC..

 

thx in advance..

Check the motheboard manufacturer for RAM compatibility. You can use PC4000, but it will run at 3200 speeds--unless you are O/Cing. What is the rated timings/voltage of the RAM.

the RAM Timings CL 2-3-3-8 (Default) 2.6V

 

but i know this memory can go to:

 

CL 2-2-2-8 (3.3V) << but i know my MOBO dont support that level of voltage, only the DFI LANParty nF4 SLI-DR does..

 

hmmmm if this helps this is the mobo:

 

 

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum altho i aint ordered this board yet

OCZ DDR Booster will allow you to get that extra voltage on other boards.

 

 

also take a look at this review. they used the MSI K8N Neo2 for some of their test.
