Sabertooth 990FX and Dominator GT 1866

Hi there..

Due to some issues on my C5F, i might change to SaberTooth 990Fx as is the same chipset.

Appreciate some advise from all the "guru(s)" here...

1. Can this board support 4Gb Corsair Dominator GT 1866? .. it was not listed on DRAM QVL list

2. As i will be using CM 212+ HSF, can the Corsair Dominator GT 1866 install into slot slot 2 and 4 due to the height?

3. BCos of the chipset on this board is the same as C5F, i assume i need not to reload my WinXP except installing the Sabertooth drivers correct?


My current Rig are as below signature..

Thanks in advance...

I pointed that out.
But, 990fx, amd x6, asus...
alot in common... was it worth a look?
I thought you might see something that
turned a light on or until someone had a more
specific answer.
good luck..
