Best answer

AMD don't support 1600 at stock, but with OC isn't a problem.

The kit that you list isn't in the QVL of the mobo, but even that you can try to run it, maybe works maybe not.

This: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] L7D-4GBECO is on the QVL for that mobo, is very good for a good price.

This is good too, and is on the QVL of the mobo: http://www.mushkin.com/Memory/Blackline/996657.aspx

or will this be better.

Sure, with any one of those you can hit the 4GHz, I'd go for the 2nd one, the Ripjaws 1600 blue are very good and works at rated speed with that mobo.

ahh okay thanks.. do you know any site that sells it besides neweeg because shipping is killer.

Reply to keith808

with the second one i would need to go in to my bios and change multipliers?

Reply to keith808

The second one comes with free shipping, and be don't know if you need change something in the BIOS until you install the RAM on the mobo.

what about these.

I'm prefer the Blue Ripjaws, the fans don't give any advantage and the CL of some of those kits isn't good.
