Was about to buy all my components and start my build but just downloaded and stared reading the manual for the mobo (Asus Maximus VI Hero) and buried in the manual is a list of qualified vendors and corresponding RAM module part numbers. And guess what- no 2x8 [16g] 1600 low profile modules on the list. Was told that with a proper cooler I needed low profile modules so I chose Corsair Vengence, (2x8, 1600, low profile, C10). Downloaded the manual for the Sabertooth which is similar but a little more expensive and it has the same problem.
Do I really need to get modules on that list?
