I have the DZ68BC board purchased in December 2011. Not sure the differences of the BC series and yours. In my study for boards in the specs Intel listed ADATA Gaming Series DDR3-1600 as compatable. I found this through Amazon, dual channel, 2 Gb sticks, totaling 4 Gb for 32 bit systems costing $25.99 and working without issue. Hope that helps.
I just bought a DZ68BC and use the full height memory. System works fine. I put my old half-height kingston D3/N9 memory in my DH57DD motherboard and sure enough every 2-3 hours it caused the system to reboot. put the full height memory back into the DH57 board and problem went away. I believe Intel that they have a problem on all the boards with half-height memory.
Am using Corsair 4x4GB 1600 pn CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 with no problems whatsoever with DZ68DB
I have the same setup using Corsair CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 (same as above, just 16 vs. 8)
.. no issues
4 gig part # is CMZ4GX3M4A1600C9
I like to use standard crucial RAM. If you go to the site http://www.crucial.com it will tell you what is compatible. I just selected a pair (Kit) of 2 DDR3 modules after searching. You just use the tool to put in the brand and motherboard you have.
I have seen some posts claiming the Crucial Balistix RAM has had some quality issues, however, it may be to overclocking. I think a lot of problems could be caused by overclocking. I never overclock my products.
Hi there,
I just built my own PC with Intel DZ68DB Motherboard and installed that same Kingston KVR1333D3N9/4G Memory
well guess what it's NOT Compatible. I got the system to start up but it Blue Screen's (BSOD) all the time.
Now i installed Corsair Vengeance SKU# CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 and it works great!
This Board is Dual Channel so i would not install Single Channel memory
The Kingston low profile memory's are not Compatible
According to ark the DZ68DB supports:
Memory Types | DDR3-1333 |
# of Memory Channels | 2 |
I have that board and I'm using G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1333MHz DIMM PC3-10666 Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL and I haven't had an issue since installation some 6 months ago.
Before I answer this, I own this motherboard, and I used 8 gigs of DDR3 and I am also using an i5 2500k processor. However, I do not overclock. I think if you will read the specs of this motherboard you will find what Intel says is compatable according to the specifications. I am using the DDR3 that the website www.crucial.com said is compatible with this motherboard. I always use the RAM that the RAM manufacturer recommends with a motherboard.
This is the RAM that I used.
Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model CT2KIT51264BA1339
Do not exactly know what you are looking for.

See this link above for list of tested RAM.
The board has four DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:
To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs may not function under the determined frequency.
1.5 V is the recommended and default setting for DDR3 memory voltage. The other memory voltage settings in the BIOS Setup program are provided for performance tuning purposes only. Altering the memory voltage may (i) reduce system stability and the useful life of the system, memory, and processor; (ii) cause the processor and other system components to fail; (iii) cause reductions in system performance; (iv) cause additional heat or other damage; and (v) affect system data integrity.
Intel has not tested and does not warranty the operation of the processor beyond its specifications. For information on the processor warranty, refer to Processor Warranty Information.
Hello everyone and Intel team..
I need a very big help.
I was looking Kingston memories for this board and I really don't know which ones are compatible>
On intel page says:
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dz68bc/sb/CS-032688.htm#tested
At Kingston page says:
http://www.kingston.com/br/memory/search?DeviceType=7&Mfr=INT&Line=DZ68BC&Model=72056
So Intel Team, I would like to know the complete and updated list of all the memories of the manufacturer Kingston compatible with this motherboard.
Thank you in advance.
