Gigabyte DS3 memory compatability?

[cloudymode]

Hello guys, this is my first time posting on Anandtech so be nice Anyways, I was wondering if any of you were able to pair these corsair xms rams http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145566 with the Gigabyte DS3 board? I know that these aren't listed on the compatiblity list on the Gigabyte site, but Corsair seems to work in the past for me even when things looked bleak. This RAM just happens to be on sale too! I'm hoping to buy the DS3 board and this RAM today and an E6300 from zipzoomfly, but will change the to a different RAM if you guys don't believe this to be compatible. I appreciate you reading this, thanks a lot!

It works. It even boots at 1.8V and I'm running it at 1.8V with no problems. I have that same setup and it's been running for almost a week now. I got the corsair xms ram from mwave, a DS-3 from newegg, and the 6300 from ZZF.

Get it and have fun!

What seems to be the problem? The board will only boot with 1.8V or 1.9V memory?
