Hi guys,
I've been putting together the spec for my first build for a while now and following some advice on these boards I've gone from the MSI Z77A-GD65 to a little less high specced Asus P8Z77-M.
With the MSI the memory finder sites such as Kingston's were suggesting HyperX and such. With the Asus Kingston only recommends their industry standard Value range. Whilst this isn't a problem technologically as I realise heatsinks really aren't necessary in most cases, practically, this range is very difficult to source in the UK it seems.
So my question really is, are the products shown on the memory selectors the only ones that will work with the specified motherboard. Or for instance would the HyperX work anyway and just doesn't show up for some reason. How do I manually identify memory modules that will work with my chosen motherboard?
EDIT: I'm looking to install 8gb in 2 4gb modules, leaving space to another two in future if necessary.
