I get blue screens or failure to boot if I change anything. The new chipset mobOs are not that much more and it is well worth the cash to lower bottleneck issues.
I have different RAM than you. But since you said that you're having issues with that RAM and mobo combo,
this RAM should work just fine. It was what I was initially going to stick into my comp when I was building it.
However, something tells me that your problem is not a universal one, as most of the reviewers on newegg have the GSkill paired with that mobo, so I think you might've gotten unlucky. :-\
I'm on my phone so I haven't checked the RAM is it cl7 or cl9? The max timings I can get are 8. But in general that mobo has barely any g.skill supported. But I did some research on mobos recently when amd launched the new chipsets for mobos and honestly they have much higher throughput and RAM support for maybe $50 more. I've got 3 saved on my newegg account that I was looking at I can post them when I get home. But in the meantime you should check out tomshardware reviews of the new northbridge and southbridge chipsets.

Both the
G.Skill RAM and
Corsair RAM are cl9. The RAM I am using is cl8, but it's almost twice as expensive. :-X
As far as mobos go, you'll have to help me to find alternatives to the one I posted.

I was told by a friend of gumps that if I want to save cash, and have a efficient build is to grab these things instead of the original
Tsk.
Damn Blues, stealing my thunder, pointing out how you could better spend that $100 from the RAM on a better graphics card...
I still prefer WD though.

stick to WD samsung makes pretty displays
I have a bunch of 1.5TB sammy spinpoints in my NAS right now. Working really well so far.
samsungs i have are a little quieter than my wd's fwiw. they make good drives
my caviars make no noise at all :S

This is the board but it seems to be more expensive than I remember.
Memory Standard DDR3 2000(O.C.)/1333/1066
I don't see 1600 or 1800 on there...

I think it is a typo, I looked up the supported RAM sheet and my g.skill cl7 RAM is on there. The other thing I found out from talking to g.skill tech support is that running 8 gigs on our mobo puts a lot of strain on it.

I learned to always check the supported memory before buying mobo and RAM

Good to know for the future.
i assume this is from newegg? or straight from coolermaster?
newegg
sorry i just copied it from my newsfeed forgot to link it
