F3-2400C11D-8GAB & Asrock FM2a88X-ITX Compatibility

[AlistairS]

Have been looking at changing over to the AMD A10 7850K when its launched shortly & my motherboard of choice is mostly likely the Asrock FM2A88X-ITX was wondering if the F3-2400C11D-8GAB is suitable for this setup at 2400mhz. Not looking to overclock the ram just get the maximum out of the APU. I need a low profile solution so thats why I have picked the ares series

Well in theory a kit like that should be ok for an FM2+ system, because i used a very similar one in one of my own builds*. However we didn't have the best success with ASRock FM2A75M-ITX / FM2A85X-ITX & high memory speeds in the past and i don't know if they finally made any progress in that regard with the A88X model.

thanks for responding - may have to look at the gigabyte offering to ensure compatibility
