OCZ ram are known to run at higher volts... read the packaging for the ram voltage and manually set it in BioS

Hello Fyshawk

I just built a similar system this week. Same MB and CPU but CC in Kingston recommended the G Skill Ripjaws Series DDR3 1600Mhz (F3-12800CL8D-4GBRM) (2x2GB) I checked the Qualified Venders list for our board Asus M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 board and OCZ does not list the ram you specified as qualified. Absolutely love the system it's running like a charm with Win 7 Pro installed. It the Rip Jaws gaming series. Hope this helps.

Here is the memory you listed You have a conflict in the info you provided as these are the listed ocz sticks for this MB that are close to what you posted.
OCZ3G1600LV6GK 6GB(3 x 2GB) DS - - 8-8-8 1.65 or
OCZ3P1600LV4GK 4GB(2 x 2GB) DS - - 7-7-7 1.65

i guess try memtest first to see if the gents above nailed it, hows temps and what psu is that?

I would check the RAM I was having ALOT of problems with the Low Voltage RAM from OCZ. Built a AM3 system on the Asus M4A785TD-V EVO with the same memory and I kept getting blue screens and wouldnt even get past post. Even tried it on my i5 system and the RAM was still not working. I suggest using memtest and if you get any issues return it immediately.

This RAM turned me off from buying any more OCZ RAM products again. Such a headache

Here is the link to the memory I am using with my system. No issues. Canada Computers - Memory > Desktop Memory > DDR3 1600 PC3-12800+ : G.SKILL Ripjaws Series DDR3 1600MHz (PC3-12800) 4GB (2x2GB) Dual Channel Kit (F3-12800CL8D-4GBRM). Have you tried using the mem ok function that comes with the MB? Did you check the QV list for memory supported on the board? Seriously.......... pick up what I'm using and you will be very happy.

I've had success with G.Skill Ripjaws series RAM both on Intel and AMD setups.

With AMD setups, I've tested the following kits which are known to work 100%:

4GB DDR3-2000 CL9
4GB DDR3-1600 CL9
4GB DDR3-1600 CL7

Testing was done on a MA785GMT-UD2H mobo from Gigabyte. This is my favorite for low to mid end new AM3 builds. :)
