Anyone using a Biostar TH67+ with 4 mem slots?

[lowepg]

I have one on order based on several recommendations here. Since I placed the order- I saw 3-4 reviewed on newegg complaining that the mobo wouldn't boot with 4 memory slots occupied.

I plan on running with 16G (for photoshop and vid editting) and absolutely want a mobo that can handle running with 4 slots loaded.

Does anyone have this seemingly popular mobo and is successfully using 4 slots?

If not, what wold be a preferable replacement? It doesn't have to be cheaper!

My prime requirements are:
runs with i5-2500
supports sata3 (the more the merrier)
supports usb3 (and plenty of usb 2)
supports 4 mem slots (16G)

I don't need OC'ing capability. Also can take or leave onboard video.... I can just as easily drop in a $100 card if thats going to be preferable to onboard vid.

Thanks!!

PS- With all due respect- I do not want to get browbeat for using more than 8G on RAM. While Im sure 8 is fine for those cranking on video games most the time, Photoshop happily gobbles up as much RAM as I can throw at it...

Get the board, try and boot with all slots occupied IF it doesnt THEN look for a replacement.

Biostar officially list 16GB of memory as supported, and they did test G.Skill DDR3 1333 4GB DIMMs, so I'm going to go with yes.

Insert browbeating here

lol on the spoiler! 🙂

Yeah- I guess I'll wait and see. I just had that cringe of buyers remorse when I read a bunch of bad reviews right AFTER I purchased..... I hate when I do that.
