I think it's going to work with any motherboard but you need to know the speed of the motherboard if it can support the speed of the ddr3 2400

Fortunately ASUS provide very classy overclocking software to determine the best setting. However, on boot verify by going into ur Bios to check it match what is printed on the memory. Only change to what is on those chips if MB did not automatically detect the settings.

Mine works great with it and I have overclocked. The board is a beast and I have had nothing but a positive experience with it.

I have this memory running on an ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z with an FX-8350, it runs at the full speed 2400MHz. No issues at all.

Yes this will work with your mother board. It wont go above a 1600 Mbps rate unless you install an AM3+ compatible AMD Chip.

I'm not entirely sure but I'm almost positive that this late in the game the board should come with a Bios that will recognize your AM3+ processor. You can also go to the Overclock.net forums, they have the " Gigabyte GA-990FXA-Series Owners Thread/Club " and post your concerns and in no time you should have a reliable answer. Good luck, I myself am thinking of buying this board also.

Yes, it will work on pretty much any motherboard that accepts ddr3 memory. Every once in a blue moon it will not work, but that is usually higher speed, random manufacturers. You will also sometimes have to go into the bios to set the speed to factory specs if it doesn't come up, but that can be limited also to the cpu that you are running and the chipset of the motherboard. So, yes, it will work on MSI, ASUS, ASROCK, GIGABYTE, BIOSTAR motherboards that accept ddr3 generally.

It is compatible with multiple Asus motherboards, but in the Maximus series, it only works for the MAXIMUS VII FORMULA and MAXIMUS VI EXTREME according to the Asus website.

yes it does work on a amd motherboard the only complaint i have is the 5ghz radio goes to sleep after about 4 days of uptime.source: running this on a asrock extreme 3 770 with a phenom 840

I used http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005O65JXI/ with this one, and seems to work fine this far. However, with my motherboard, http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Motherboard-Triple-Monitor-support-Windows/dp/B009L1EOKQ/ , it makes it impossible for you to install RAM in DDR3_4 slot (the one closer to CPU socket). Not a big deal for me, as I just added two 8GB modules for the 16GB I wanted, but is something you need to bear in mind (it looks like your board has more space there, but I am not sure). Also, you should consider this CPU instead: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-AD785KXBJABOX-3-7-Socket/dp/B00H7Z7YMI/ (I have been considering to sell mine CPU + motherboard to buy this one, and another motherboard that supports FM2+ socket).

For amd only, try this one ASUS Maximus V FORMULA/THUNDERFX LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard and stick with asus, auto overcloking rocks

Hey Joey I don't think that it matters since you can change all the voltage for the RAM in the BIOS or the application AMD Overdrive. Also when i first booted up my computer after the build with this board it auto clocked my ram at 1.35v so i think your golden for this M.B

YES IT SHOULD WORK WITH YOUR AMD MOTHER BOARD BASED ON YOUR MOTHERBOARD SPECIFICATIONS.AOD790GX/128M SPECIFICATIONS:Memory - Dual Channel DDR2 Memory Technology (see CAUTION 2) - 4 x DDR2 DIMM slots - Support DDR2 1066/800/667/533 non-ECC, un-buffered memory (see CAUTION 3) - Max. capacity of system memory: 8GB (see CAUTION 4)ALSO THIS IS 2 X 2048 MB = TO 4096 MB OR TWO MEMORY MODULES.

I personally bought it specifically for usb 3.0 myself, though I really can't see much of a boost, even on hardcore downloads (GB in size). Then again, at some point it probably comes down to SATA write speed and buffer anyway. I did have some problems with powering it off the usb though, so make sure you have a solid motherboard(ports on back) and case (the ports on the front). If you start seeing it lose connection and have to replug it in, stop using that port immediately, because it ended up causing my device to fail. Which brings me to my next point, the warranty service was EXCELLENT. great customer support with amped.

I just installed these in a fresh PC build, it is not inherently compatible according to the ASUS list for this Mother Board. It doesn't time properly, however I heard if you can get into bios you can force the timing to 9-9-9-29 and it should work. Problem with a new PC is it wont load bios if ram check doesn't pass. I would recommend a different ram for the z79-a boards.

I don't think you'll have a problem, however it is overclocked at 1866 as opposed the 1600. So although it may work, you won't be able to use it 1866mghz. You'll have to use it at 1600mghz. Just in case here is a link to the official qualified vendors list: http://support.asus.com/QVL.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=1&s=24&m=Crosshair%20III%20Formula&os=&hashedid=2Y4dQFaJ6gPN18cQ

Remember that some makers ram plays better than others. 99% of the time it works just plugging it in, but that other 1% you might have to go into bios and set the voltage/speed manually.

We'll make sure in your mother board the pins where that USB 3.0 goes are not bent or anything. Other than that I'm not sure what could those issues. Total guess in maybe a short in the 3.0 USB. I can understand that you want those working but I believe even after I loaded all my drivers/chipsets n at those USB "kinda" work for me. Not always recognizing the USB 3.0 I plug into it. I always use the 3.0 I have built into my motherboard. Also thermaltake customer support can help sometimes. you can proceed with your build and don't let that 2x USB 3.0 bother you. Get to gaming!
