it seems that this tester is restricted to a few types of motherboard. I also saw Comments mention this. Who this works for you? many thanks.

I have only had the chance to use this tester 2 times now. It seems to work quite well if you can find what the codes mean. As far as I know this should work on many different types of main boards. One of the neat features of this is that also serves as a voltage meter. I could see this product going much further if the developer would continue their work. This website can be very helpful. Pick the bios type from the side. http://www.bioscentral.com/

this is a great diagnostic tool, but it has to plug into a PCI slot (desktop) or PCMCIA slot (laptop) Only works with certain bios systems, we have not found a machine yet that did have a pci slot that this did not work for. its a great motherboard diagnostic tool.

If you're using a 'boot device selectable' bios like on most @sus boards then it does just fine. Stick it on a 'bought' PC you would have to experiment. Bit it's a very cheap gamble as price is fantastic.

Usually they are specific to certain control boards. Probably would not work.

Could be a lot of things, you'll need to troubleshoot this. Start by testing 1 module at a time to make sure they both show up. If they do, check the motherboard manual to make sure you have them in the correct slots. If some of the memory ports are different t colors, put them in the same color slots, not side by side... some boards require specific slots to be filled first...

I bought this with a haswell dual core (going to upgrade later) and it worked for me out of the box. I believe my processor is a Haswell refresh since I bought it maybe not even a month ago. Hope this helps. Love this mobo!

I just installed these in a fresh PC build, it is not inherently compatible according to the ASUS list for this Mother Board. It doesn't time properly, however I heard if you can get into bios you can force the timing to 9-9-9-29 and it should work. Problem with a new PC is it wont load bios if ram check doesn't pass. I would recommend a different ram for the z79-a boards.

I did have an issue with the heat sinc hitting the row 3 of RAM although I blame it on the motherboard design being too compact. The same heat sinc and RAM worked on another motherboard.

I tried Corsair Vengence and Kingston Black but couldn't get the system to post. Went through two motherboards. Ended up switching to Gigabyte.

I've read that this new part can draw slightly more power than the previous version, and that this change may require a corresponding BIOS update and/or render previous testing of older motherboards incomplete. Bottom line is I would look for some indication such as a statement from your motherboard vendor that it will be compatible.

Ripjaws doesn´t work in this board, 775 boards wichever brand have problem with 4GB Ram, they don´t work with any RAM.

Yes, it could still be a question of the PSU to dynamically provide power when fully loaded. The tester is only a quick diagnostic tool, but it can provide a false positive. I've had both situations where the Mobo still could be the culprit or a the PSU can still be defective.

Sorry, this might be getting out of my comfort level for answering and I'd hate to endorse something for you that may not work. I have installed this in two different computers at my house, both running AMD processors, and I had no issues, but as to MHz and motherboard compliance - you've got me. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I tried it when my sister's laptop went blank. The driver was already installed before the gpu died. I plugged it in and it didn't work. I can't be sure, but I think the adapter relies on processing power from the mobo gpu. I recently tried this out on my desktop which installed the driver on its own, but all of my screens started flickering. My desktop is an old salvaged computer with a cheap gpu. I would say replace the mobo, that's what I did. You might spend more, but at least you are not playing a guessing game, and this product is likely to ruin your mobo if you use it long enough.

Offcourse but you might have to update your motherboards bios. 90% of the time you just plug it in and itll work.

In the technical details it mentions only AMD x2 and x4... Could that limit the function of this motherboard?

Yes, I have this board, but with an AMD 8-core CPU. I had problems getting it to read due to the complex BIOS of the board. Make sure the last 4 digits of your motherboard serial number matches your BIOS version. The final fix for getting it to read was removing the CPU and CMOS battery for a minimum 5 minutes (as directed by ASUS) and then after the systems boots, adjust the BIOS clocking from 1600MHZ to 1866MHZ.

I seem to have no problem on this same motherboard with the CPU. There is a hot fix out there for it.
