Intel Extreme Memory Profiles

[bellinghamwa]

Does anyone know if Intel Extreme Memory Profiles work with NVIDIA boards like the upcoming 790i or only with Intel boards like the X48?

I am considering buying 2 GB CORSAIR DDR3 1600 PC3 12800 TWIN3X2048-1600C7DHXIN, but havent made up my mind on the motherboard yet.

Yellowbeard responded in a PM:



The memory will work regardless of platform. However, only the Nvidia boards will recognize and use SLI/EPP and only the Intel boards will recognize and use XMP. So, if you use the SLI version on an Intel board, you'd need to set the timings and voltage manually and vice versa.

Thanks! So to clarify for an Intel board I should get:

TWIN3X2048-1600C7DHXIN

For a NVIDIA board I should get:

TWIN3X2048-1600C7DHX


Correct. For now the IN designates INTEL. SLI Ready logo designates Nvidia. ATI does not yet have an equivalent, not sure if they are going to.
