Corsair Vengeance 1886 8gb in Gigabyte z87 ud3h?

BlazeMike · Apr 28, 2014

When i checked the gigabyte page for the mobo specs and what ram is supported.
I found this:
Support for DDR3 3000(O.C.) / 2933(O.C.) / 2800(O.C.) / 2666(O.C.) / 2600(O.C.) / 2500(O.C.) / 2400(O.C.) / 2200(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 2000(O.C.) / 1866(O.C.) / 1800(O.C.) / 1600 / 1333 MHz memory modules

Can I install this? : http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Desktop-Memory-CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9R/dp/B0056KUWS4/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1398692048&sr=8-6&keywords=corsair+vengeance+8gb

Will it support this RAM? can I run it @ 1866? Is this a good memory kit?

most high-end cpu's are only supporting DDR3 1033 and DDR3 1600 but you can OC thatto higher speeds which will void you warranty on your CPU, if you're not going to OC your CPU then no need for such a high memory kit. mobo are compatible with most new types of RAM since we moved to DDR3.
so will you OC then they are worth getting

EdwardElric · Apr 28, 2014

and if you are not going to OC the cpu then their is no problem with compatibility since the CPU will simply not use the extra RAM speed, and your RAM shall downclock to the CPU's ability. good luck

thnx for the reply!

But my question was will this RAM that ive chosen be compatible with this MOBO??

EdwardElric · Apr 28, 2014

yes as they are DDR3 RAM moudules their was an onlder type DDR2 but that's far gone. are you going to OC your cpu?

Your motherboard can use the 1866 Corsair Vengeance ram. You should always check the Verified RAM list that motherboard manufacturers provide.
Use the XMP memory profile in BIOS to get use the memory at 1866 MHz.

the fact that it's 1866MHz does not impact the compatibility it's to do with timings of the RAM Module (9-10-9-27) which you can type in manualy, I've checked that they are compatible. In future cases go to sites were you can build your pc from scratch like PCPartpicker.com which will let you know if your komponents are compatible

What mobo and what CPU? Looks like Haswell, but the CPU is what determines what DRAM you can run - assuming of course you want to run at spec freq

Intel Core i5 4670K in the Gigabyte Z87 UD3H

EdwardElric · Apr 28, 2014

very good combo I have the same but the UD4H.only buy the RAM if you're going to Overclock your CPU which you should since you're going with top components

Tradesman1 · Apr 28, 2014

Most all 4670Ks can handle 1866 at stock settings with no problem, at 2133 it becomes iffier
