Thanks :)

Well Anyway i took a look and it said Any Memory is A-OK!

make sure the ram kit is 1.5 or lower voltage
ram above 1.55v will cook the imc on the cpu, and that cpu will not be able to run 4 dimms in any board anymore

just because its approved for the board does not mean its approved for the cpu
1155 cpus have the imc on the cpu not the board
