Targeted upgrade for ASUS M5A97 boards

This kit delivers eight gigabytes in two matched four-gigabyte modules built for the ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 and M5A97 EVO motherboards. It is aimed at owners of those platforms who need a straightforward capacity increase without guessing at compatibility. Systems that require ECC, registered DIMMs or a different pin count cannot use this memory.

DDR3 1333 sets the practical ceiling

The modules run at 1333 MHz with CL9 9-9-9 timings at 1.5 volts on the PC3-10600 standard. That speed is the maximum the memory controller on the supported boards will recognise natively, so the kit operates at its rated specification without manual tuning. Boards limited to lower DDR3 frequencies will downclock the modules automatically, while faster DDR3 standards are not supported by the platform.

Plain green PCB fits four-slot layouts

Each stick is an unbuffered non-ECC 240-pin DIMM without a heat spreader, keeping the profile low enough for standard CPU coolers. The two-module kit populates half the four available slots, leaving room for a second identical kit if the platform and operating system can address the additional capacity. Buyers needing ECC error correction or registered signal buffering must choose a different product.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 8 GB kit or a different capacity for my ASUS M5A97 board?

The kit provides 8 GB total as two 4 GB modules, and the board supports up to 32 GB non-ECC across four slots, so you can add a second identical kit later if you need more memory.

What does the 1333 MHz rating deliver in an ASUS M5A97 system?

The modules run at DDR3 1333 with CL9 timing at 1.5 V, giving the standard bandwidth and latency the board expects for stable operation.

How does the 240-pin DDR3 interface limit performance on this motherboard?

The 240-pin DDR3 connection caps the data rate at 1333 MHz, so the memory cannot run faster than the board's native DDR3 1333 specification.
