Epox 8K5A2+ and PC3000 DDR, will it work??

[x3ro]

Hey guys,

I got kinda scared last night.....I ordered an Epox 8K5A2+ mobo, and I had already bought some Corsair XMS DDR PC3000 ram......Will this ram work on this epox board??????? I'm confused, it says it supports PC1600/2100/2700.....Did I screw up??

i think it does. But the support might be what they officially support, anything else would be yourself.

Btw, good Mobo choice, just built a computer for my brother and it was a breeze (not to mention we don't have to configure jumpers anymore! And I thought the 5MVP3's method of handling jumpers was bliss )

im running the board with XMS3200- it'll be fine.

yes it will be fine
it just wont "officially" support it, but ram is always backwards compatible

Oh okay, thanks so much guys

This is gonna be the system:

Enermax black case (cheiftec/antec/chemming clone)
Epox 8K5A2+
Ath. XP 1800 + w/ Alpha 8045 hsf combo
512mb Corsair XMS PC3000
Albatron Ti4200P Turbo
80gb WD SE


I figured that it was just what the mobo "officially" supported

Thanks!
