This RAM does work in a 790i ultra chipset but not at the rated settings. i cna only get it to post at 1333mhz. at 1600mhz it will not post at all. Im between builds, gonig form DDR2 800 to this u clearly notice a difference and at 1333mhz its really rock solid with no problems at all.good thign is when the GT300s come out i can still use this same ram for P55 upgrade for complete new buildgood ram just not running rated settings on 790i ultras. (does say P55 ram, could not find ram for 790i's anywhere these days :( lol)

This RAM is amazingly fast. I bought it with an Asus Maximus III Gene motherboard. Like the previous review said, it only posts at 1333Mhz 9-9-9-24. Inorder to get 1600Mhz 7-7-7-24 you need to tweak the BIOS settings. G.Skills forums are fantastic; their tech guys will tell you the settings you need. Note that the Asus Maximus III Gene motherboard supports XMP (Intel Extreme Memory Profiles). Settings this in the BIOS will set the RAM at the correct settings for you. Got 7.7 for memory in Windows 7 rating.

Brought this a couple of months ago to go in my Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UDP5, at first I couldn't get it running at the stated timings of 7-7-7-24 @ 1600Mhz, however this was due to the Gigabyte's bios.Latest bios has been released and it is now sitting pretty at 7-7-7-24 @ 1600Mhz, excellent RAM just a shame the price has increased quite a bit over what it was when I purchased mine, I definately got a bargain!
