Recently won from a raffle and I was wondering if the RAM that I chose will actually be supported by my Mobo. It says my board supports RAM of 2400(OC) but the ram I chose has no "OC" on it (1st on the list). Will it work? If not, what's the BEST type of ram that I can place from this given selection:


    AMD Radeon™ R9 Gamer Series–8GB (2x4GB)
    DDR3 2400 MHz CL11 Memory Kit


    AMD Radeon™ R9 Gamer Series–8GB (2x4GB)
    DDR3 2133 MHz CL10 Memory Kit


    AMD Radeon™ R7 Performance Series-8GB (2x4GB)
    DDR3-1866 MHz CL9 Memory Kit


    AMD Radeon™ R5 Entertainment Series-8GB (2x4GB)
    DDR3-1600 MHz CL11 Memory Kit


    AMD Radeon™ R3 Value Series-8GB (2x4GB)
    DDR3-1333 MHz CL9 Memory Kit


All these RAMs can be found on RADEON MEMORY WEBSITE

Thanks for the help.

Why the AMD RAM? It's not the greatest quality.Get something made by Kingston,Crucial,Corsair,Mushkin,Patriot or G.Skill.They make excellent quality RAM.
Anyway,the R7 performance series would be the best out of those you listed.

As i said, I WON from a raffle. Would be a waste not to pick it up. I can choose from any of those listed so long as it's not above the $115 prize value. I was gonna go for this:
AMD Radeon™ R9 Gamer Series–8GB (2x4GB)
DDR3 2400 MHz CL11 Memory Kit

but i am unsure if my Board supports it.

I would go with the R7 Performance,because having CL9 is better than having CL11.

But isn't 2400Mhz faster?

Nope.There is no difference than 1333 MHz and 2400 MHz,CL is basically all that matters.Although editing and certain games benefit from higher freq RAM,1866 MHz is still the sweet spot for both IMO.
The lower the CL,the quicker the RAM responds to your commands.

If you have an APU,go for either one of the R9 Gamer series,because APUs benefit from high freqs RAM. Go for the one with the lower CAS. ;)
