Hi. I registered to ask about the memory I bought before doing thorough research (stupid I know). I just built a low to midrange gaming PC and ordered a kit of G.Skill ares 2x4gb ddr3 ram at 2400mhz. The board says it's compatible with 2400(oc) and I saw someone with a similar post that has been resolved, but he was running an intel setup that has the XMP feature. But the issue for me is that I'm running an AMD apu rig. The specs are:
-AMD a10-6800k Richland 'Black Edition'
-Asus radeon HD 6870 gpu
-Asus a55bm-plus/csm
-Kentek 700w psu (until I can afford an upgrade)
-G.Skill Ares 8gb DDR3 2400mhz (soon I hope)
-Currently 4gb generic ram at 1600mhz
I know I probably won't see a crazy amout of a performance boost by jumping up the MHz but I wanted 8gb so I figured I'd go ahead and raise the MHz since I was already upgrading the gbs.
Thank you for your time and looking forward to your help
