Does the Phenom II 955 support DDR3 1600 RAM?

Topic title, I've ordered DDR3 1600 ram (3gb), but after reading some reviews it only lists support up to DDR3 1300 ram. The articles are oldish, so I wasn't sure if that still stands right now. Does anyone know if the 955 can support DDR3 1600, or will I have to cancel the order and roll back to 1300?

If you got 1600 you can oc to that. I dunno about other boards but my board has a 1:4 Divider for 1600.....i dont think most am3 boards have that divider. And if not you can run 1333 with tight timings, depending on the ram you bought.

How much was that ram?

See if you can find these sticks....it works better with amd....there known as the "animals"(for a very good reason) 8)

Really? I know nothing about ram timings (guess that much was obvious), but I don't think it'll make a huge difference, I've just bought a new spec pc, just waiting for the parts from Techbuy to put it together.

Specs are:

AMD Phenom II 955 3.2ghz Socket AM3

Powercolor 4890 1gb GDDR5 (reference model)

OCZ 600w Stealth PSU

Gigabyte MA 770T-UD3P Socket AM3 motherboard

Antec 900 case

and the ram

Keeping the other specs listed in my sig that aren't being replaced by the above listed parts. Good rig? Costed about AU $1200.

That's a definite, haha. Still, I shouldn't notice a difference hopefully. And compared to my current setup, this new rig should be plenty fast.Edgemaster666
