980DE3/U3S3 + FX-8350 - 16GB RAM recommendation?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,
Because QVL list for 8GB RAM sticks is very short and outdated for ASRock 980DE3/US3 - both for R1.0 and R2.0, thus I would like to ask for your experience - what 2x8GB (16GB in Dual) RAM sticks can you suggest for this motherboard? I am looking for 1333/1600 sticks. May be faster, but honestly I am rather not going to clock anything above 1600MHz.

Thank you in advance for any help.

	I love this kind of memory for this motherboard my friend: http://amzn.to/2d1Q0nX http://amzn.to/2dln7VZ I am using this (but in 2400 Mhz) in a Extreme 4+ FM2A99X motherboard and G.Skill is making great with Asrock. Edited by hgonzale - 26 Sep 2016 at 3:34pm

	Hi, Of course any help is much appreciated, however there is one problem with suggested RAMs - they seem to rather have high heatsinks. Because of Noctua NH-C14 cooling I need memory modules that aren't too high. I will check what is the height of my current 4G modules from Patriot, which are causing problems with height are higher than these G-Skills or no. Maybe they can fit...

	Your 8350 is built to handle two 1866 sticks and run w/o OC'ing. ""Supported memory: DDR3-1866"" http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bulldozer/AMD-FX-Series%20FX-8350.html You can use the listings below so long as you use it with a grain of salt. But it will provide you with a beginning with which to search. https://pcpartpicker.com/products/memory/?compatible_with=asrock-motherboard-980de3u3s3#s=301866&E=0&sort=d5&xcx=0&Z=16384002 HTH
