Does anyone know how this ram performs in an AMD FX setup?

Yes. I'm running a FX-8350 overclocked to 4.7GHz on a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5 and all 32GB are running at 2000 stable. I haven't tried to push the memory any farther, really no reason too.

I have this memory running on an ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z with an FX-8350, it runs at the full speed 2400MHz. No issues at all.

I have 2 x 8 Gb RAM memories installed in two slots. So far I haven't experienced any trouble.

It's been running perfectly for over 3 months in my build. I even upgraded my CPU a month ago to an AMD FX-6300, and my performance is much better than the older AM3 quad-core I had in it originally. The only reason you see so many negative reviews are people who either don't know what they are doing, or are upset at what they purchased. I can tell you from my own personal experience, being in the computer business and a hobbyist for over 30 years that this motherboard and most of the Gigabyte boards are high quality and very reliable. Hope this helps you decide.

I purchased 8Gb of this RAM to be used in a new build with no intention of overclocking. The computer is used for moderate on-line gaming in junction with a AMD 3.8Mhz Quad and dual EVGA 660 GCs. I am pleased with the RAM performance.

I would consult the Corsair website before buying. It seems to be tuned for Intel, but more important is the DDR3 1600MHz compatibility with your system. Just being AMD doesn't provide enough info to give a definite answer.

yes, i have it running with a fx6300 as well as the 7850K apu both overclocked with no issues with voltage stability.

Good day. I have an Asus AMD motherboard with 8 gigs of ram, a FX-8320 Eight Core CPU, two AMD Radeon 7800 Series Video Cards and Windows 8.1 and I have no issues at all. Works rather well.

Yes it is. I use it with my fx series 4300 CPU, and it works amazingly. Great choice for mid-upper level gaming with AMD

i am using it on a mini-itx Asus Board and 2 sticks of 8GB Vengeance memory. so far so good. no problems.

The test results indicate that AMD FX-9590 unleashes its real potential on ASRock 990FX Extreme9! http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme9/

I would avoid this MB. It has serious video chip failures. If you are intent on replacing the AMD cpu, I have one.

With an Asus z77-lx, I was able to auto-tune it up to 3504 mhz. It does everything I need when coupled with an r9 270x

Definitely. I used an Athlon II (Propus) x4 645 prior to upgrading to FX 8320 (Piledriver), so it can handle anything in between. To ensure compatibility, always check with the vendor of the motherboard. To check for compatible CPU's, goto http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme4/?cat=CPU, to see if your RAM is ok, check out http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme4/?cat=Memory, and finally, if you're planning on multiple Graphics Cards: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme4/?cat=VGA&c;=2 Best of luck!

Yeah, it handles it pretty well. I'm running an FX 8320 at 4.55GHz rock solid. I could go higher, but my Hyper 212 Evo can't handle the heat. As for GPU OCing, that's gonna depend on the GPU, and how much juice your power supply can get to it.

It works flawlessly. However motherboard design is little quirky still I love it.Also fx 4350 works without any problems on this mother board.

I recieved my UD3 May 15th 2012. It was a rev 1.1 with a F4 BIOS. That is the minimum for FX support. All the boards that come out now should be at that or above. I would say buy it. Very nice board. I run a FX-8150 OC'd to 4.2 at 44.8C under load.Good luck and have fun.Just remember: You never finish building your computer...you just run out of money.Update: August 2014: I just bought another for a Livingroom HTPC and it is Rev 4.0 with the latest BIOS for the Rev 4 and it is F2. I plugged in an old FX 8150 and it works great.

I bought 2x4gb 1600mhz RAM for this board and it shows up running at 1600mhz. I believe the Gigabyte website had RAM info somewhere on their website.
