You will want a set of RAM which runs at 1.5 volts. http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Ballistix-PC3-12800-240-Pin-BLS2CP4G3D1609DS1S00/dp/B006WAGGUK

That board specs memory that's 1.5 v, not 1.65 v.

Yes, the DRAM will work fine, 1.5 is for base level 1600 sticks, would want to stick w/ 1.5 through 1866 sticks, 2133 and up 1.6-1.65 is perfectly fine

Ok thank you so will this ram work because its 1.5 volts right and its on the motherboard (compability thingy) right? G.Skill Ripjaws-X F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL 8 GB : 2 x 4 GB Memory - DIMM 240-pin - 2133 MHz ( PC3-17000 ) - 1.5 V

That set will in part depend on the strength of the MC (memory controller), with the loose CL11 it may run at 1.5 for 2133 or may take up to 1.6 if a weaker MC

It should work.

Tradesman1 · Apr 27, 2014

Yes, would suggest a lower CL for 2133 sticks, 1866/9 sticks will outperform 2133/11 sticks
