Gigabyte z77 D3h ram Compatibility

[ozmanb]

Hey guys,
After my old Asus p8h77 mobo burnt I just purchased a Gigabyte z77 d3h motherboard which is on its way atm. I wanted to know if my memory will be running at its default clock of 1866 or will it be down clocked to 1600 mhz upon installation? Also if it is down clocked will i be able to somehow run it at 1866 because I know i couldn't run it at 1866 on my previous mobo, i always used to get a warning that my overclocking failed and it restored it back to 1600 mhz.

I currently have the following build:

Intel Core i7 3770
Kingston Hyper X fury 1866
Corsair GS700
Gigabyte z77 D3H (On its way)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You have to either set XMP Profile for the DRAM to Enabled (or select one of the profiles found on the SPD EEPROM on the DIMMs), or manually set speed and timings.

You can see this model supports RAM OC up to 2800Mhz, and XMP profiles (if your RAM supports this too).

This said, RAM OC leads to really negligible gains, if ever.
