Hello, :hello:

Yes, the memory is compatible with your Motherboard. Perhaps, you could try a higher speed memory if you have Intel® K-Series processor. If you are okay with 1600MHz then going with lower latency(CL7) is a better idea. You can also try F3-12800CL7D-8GBXH or Corsair CMZ8GX3M2X1600C7R or if you are okay with value ram then click here for compatible CL7 memory.

Good luck with the upgrade. Cheers.

Yes it will work QVLs are all but worthless - in fact quite often the higher freq sets won't work out of the Box - mobo manufacturers 'test' DRAM at the mobo's default value, not at the rated spec. I wrote an op/ed article on this here:

The Z77 is the better mobo over the Z75

And finally, I agree, if going w/ a K model CPU, if you do any multi-tasking at all or really put the computer to use, you'd like faster sticks of DRAM
