You need to know which motherboard it goes in. It will likely be fine but you can check the motherboard mfgr's. site online and look in Support for the mobo to see if that RAM is listed.

Fkusna :

First, you will have to choose the motherboard and then you need to select the CPU and only then you can worry about the RAM. RAM should be selected based on the Motherboard not with CPU as the base.

This is the MOBO I will be using. It is also compatible right?
