Hi!

I have a G.Skill F3-14900CL8D-8GBXM with 8-9-9-24 timing and an ASUS M5A97 R 2.0 motherboard. My problem is that neither of these products have the other listed in its QVL. The closest match on the motherboards QVL is the G.Skill F3-14900CL9Q-8GBFLD with CL 9-9-9-24 timing. Can I use my RAM with the motherboard or I will need an other?
 
Solution
They should work together. The QVL lists are not always updated with the latest memorys out there. The motherboard supports DDR3 and that is DDR3 ram, they should work fine.
