I'm currently only running 8gb of ddr3 1600 and it works fine but I plan on upgrading to 16gb of 1866. Dark Asylumn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

After that it should automatically set the rest of the timings.If not you might have to set your memory timings and speed manually also. lol love my little 8320 Stock core is 3.5ghz and it will go over 5ghz very easily.4.72ghz is my CPUs sweet spot.Runs cool and it's fast as heck.
