I bought a new board GA-EP35C-DS3R and a Corsair CM2x1024-6400 2GB kit. I noticed that this RAM does not appear in the "Compatible Memory" list on Gigabyte's site, but the 6400C4/6400C4 Pro do.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I did some searching and only diffference that I could sum up between the two is that mine has 5-5-5-12 timings but the C4s have 4-4-4-12 instead.

Specifics:
CM2x1024-6400
5-5-5-12
Ver 5.2

From reviews I've read GB's mobos have a reputation to be picky on the memory. Where I live its pretty difficult and expensive to get performance RAMs. This Corsair was the only "performance" one I could afford and it costs me $160. HyperX and the DHX models costs $200 and $250 respectively. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Owners of this board, please give your views and experiences too.

Thanks in advance!

I have the orginal P35C-DSR, which handles GSKILL F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ in 8GB well by default.

Electrical specification? As in voltage? Its 1.9V, unless its another thing you are talking about. Please feel free to ask.

Hmm I cant find your RAM too on GB's list (or I'm just too sleepy) so Im guessing its a good thing. Ive read on Newegg that it fried 2 brand two XMS2s, can anyone verify this?
