Asus Z97-Pro Memory question

Paynegiver · May 26, 2014

I just found Asus' approved memory list and the ram that I Was considering was not on the list. Does anyone know if I would have any problems buying off the list?

This is the ram:

Try the other way around - is the motherboard on the ram's compatible mobo list?

Or just ask the ram maker

When I looked at Kingston I found,

Looks as it is, also is that ram any good?

obviously I cant tell you from experience, but its DDR3 and 1.5v there's absolutely no reason it shouldn't work with that motherboard. maybe its because its a new board the list needs some updating/refining.

That RAM you are looking at is good and should work. I would get a CL9 kit, though. Yours is CL10.

What CPU? The CPU matters too.

Any of the 37 ram listed for the mobo should be good to go

It is a newegg bundle which is why the CL 10 instead of 9,

i74770k is the processor.

You should be fine with an i74770k.

How big is the difference between cl9 and 10

Don't know the exact speed but:

Column Address Strobe (CAS) latency, or CL, is the delay time between the moment a memory controller tells the memory module to access a particular memory column on a RAM module, and the moment the data from the given array location is available on the module's output pins. In general, the lower the CAS latency, the better.
