K kbaird Baseband Member Messages 92 Dec 12, 2008 #1 EVGA X58 Question Can you put DDR3 1600 in it? Did you have to adjust the bios settings? Thanks.
A AP4LIFETN Daemon Poster Messages 1,009 Dec 12, 2008 #2 I think the EVGA X58 can only use a 10x memory multiplier at this time, so if you overclock your BCLK, you can run DDR3-1600, or simply downclock ur ram

OP OP K kbaird Baseband Member Messages 92 Dec 12, 2008 #7 I think the beta will become release in a few weeks. That board has already had 5 bios updates.
OP OP K kbaird Baseband Member Messages 92 Dec 14, 2008 #8 Beta bios is running mem at 1600 just fine. cool.
