Asus SK8V

[SertTurk]

I just got an Asus SK8V for a friend.Along with FX-53 cpu and PC-3200 512mbx2 muskin sticks.
The board wont boot.I am reading some reviews and I am confused.Some say I need registered memory.
Other sites say FX-53 cpu wont work.
Anyone here using this motherboard?Please post if you know about the memory and cpu specs.Asus's site has conflicting info too

All fx cpus require registered memory. Asus may list recommended brands at their website. I like mushkin, and have had good luck overclocking with it.

So this is not it?

I am ordering registered ecc now.

That memory will not work, it has to be registered/buffered
At NewEgg bring up the memory page that lets you choose options.
Here
Pick 184 DDR Dimm
and ECC yes

Type [184pin DDR DIMM] ECC [Yes]

There are 32 results that will all work with your system design.
I used the Corsair with tighter timings

Cool!
I hope that was the only problem.I was thinking the mobo was dead because system wouldn't boot.
