F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL and AMD Athlon x4

[jhong89]

I was wondering if the F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL was compatible with an AMD Athlon X4? Thanks

You don't mention which one, so first you'll have to check that the CPU your thinking of can even handle 1600 sticks, if so there's a guide for setting up 1600 sticks with AMD combos here:

Thanks Tman. I have the Athlon X4 630 with MB BIOSTAR|TA870U3+ AMD870 AM3 R.

Can give it a go, to run 1600 will take a healthy OC, but you can always drop the sticks to 1333 at CL8
