I am planning to buy Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 5 mobo.

http://www.morele.net/plyta-glowna-gigabyte-ga-z97x-gam...

But i have that rams:

Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 2x4GB 1600MHz, DDR3, CL(9-9-9-24), XMP White (CML8GX3M2A1600C9W)

http://www.morele.net/pamiec-corsair-vengeance-low-prof...

There will be compatible problems with that rams and mobo or no? I ask because on compatible ram list:
http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/Memory/mb_memory_g...

they saying : CML8GX3M2A1600C9 ( without W ) . But i have CML8GX3M2A1600C9W <-- with W.
So W is low voltage? There will be problems then or not?

I'm not mistaken, the W stands for white and the RAM should work with that motherboard.

But according to that site:

http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/ram/31422-corsair-vengean...


White are with 1.35v not 1.5v. So they will be compatible still with that mobo?

8GB 1,600MHz, 9-9-9-24 1.35V 2 Arctic White CML8GX3M2A1600C9W

8GB 1,600MHz, 9-9-9-24 1.5V 2 Jet Black CML8GX3M2A1600C9

Also to my knowledge, lower voltage RAM doesn't affect compatibility but rather lower heat output power consumption. There have also been reports that lower voltage RAM doesn't overclock as well as Standard RAM, but not everyone does that.

I cant find on that site CML8GX3M2A1600C9W:
http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/memory/?compatible_with=g...

Can you give me link?


I just copy and pasted CML8GX3M2A1600C9W into the search Memory area, can't link you in since it doesn't open up another page, stays on the same one with an integrated one.
