Hi All, Very Happy

If anybody has got experience with the Abit KN9 (not SLI or Ultra) and the best compatible memory with tight timings, please let me know what you've used. I'm asking because I've heard the Abit KN9 is an "iffy" board when it comes to memory. Also, from my experience building a system with the NF7-S r2.0, it took a number of trials before I found tight memory with good timing.

If you scroll to the bottom of this post you'll see Abit reports the Kingston HyperX mem0ry with 4 4 4 12 as compatible..however, are there more/beter choices?

Thanks!
