Good afternoon,
I'm in the middle of my first PC build, and am wondering if the Kingston Blu HyperX 1x8GB 1600 (KHX1600C10D3B1/8) is compatible with my Asus Z87-A motherboard. It's not listed in the Asus manual, but I swear I saw a thread somewhere that it would work just fine, and that the list isn't comprehensive. I thought I was buying 2x4, but I was mistaken and it's only 1x8, I'll probably end up getting another 8gb to compliment. Any help on the compatibility would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

thanks for the response! and pardon my ignorance on the subject, but would ram on the qualified vendor list work better or have less issues than those that aren't? i'm assuming my motherboard would throw the dram led light if it would not work.
