Initial Setup
I made sure to test these DIMMs in several boards, looking to see if I could find any issues on boards other than the general ones these sticks are designed for. The sticks worked each and every time, though, and of course, they worked in an ASUS TUF GAMING board without any problems at all.
It really didn't matter what board I put these sticks into, Intel or AMD; if you have a capable CPU and board, these sticks are going to work just fine.
However, these sticks do look best in an ASUS TUF board. That's also where I did the majority of my performance testing.
