I want to buy g.skill ripjaws v ddr4 16gb (2x8gb) memory.

But it said on the cover that it is compatible with Z170 chipset. And the product page also mention pretty similar thing, while my motherboard type is h110m, from asus. And my Processor is Intel i5-6500.

Will it work just fine without any problem if I use that memory on the combo above or should I find another type of memory to avoid any problem happening?

Thanks in advance,

Ari

Is this Your mobo? https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H110M-A/specifications/
Then you will need to make sure that you have the latest BIOS ver. beforehand.
But, You must make sure 100% that it is the correct model!
And the questions asked above?

When it comes to memory's there are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Always install memory sticks from one memory kit. They are matched together.

2. Always make sure that the chosen memory's is indeed supported by the motherboard and its processor.
Different types of memory's, different frequencies, timings etc. the memory stick with the lowest speed will always set the speed for the rest of them.

3. Very important that the voltage of the memory are supported by the processor; meaning that a memory stick with to much voltage let say 1.65V when the processor spec. clearly says 1.35V - will damage and shorten the processors life span.

4. Make sure that the height of the memory modules can fit under the CPU-cooler (if it is not original).

Use a memory configurator such as
Corsair]http://www.corsair.com/en-us/memory-finder]Corsair http://www.corsair.com/en-us/memory-finder[/url]
Kingston]http://www.kingston.com/us/memory/search/options]Kingston http://www.kingston.com/us/memory/search/options[/url]
G-Skill]http://www.gskill.com/en/configurator]G-Skill http://www.gskill.com/en/configurator[/url]
Etc.

But even then, som memory manufacturers recommend memory's with a little bit to high voltage, so make sure that the CPU manufacturer specs for that particular model of CPU is followed regarding the memory voltage.
Otherwise it will shortened the CPUs lifespan.
* Overclocking is always a risk.

For ex. a processor of 2:a generation Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 of Sandy Bridge alt 3: generation "Ivy Bridge" etc. these should have 1,5V +/- 5%- memory's.

For DDR3 memory: 1.5 volts, plus or minus 5%
For DDR3L memory: 1.35 volts, plus or minus 5%
For DDR4 memory: 1.2 volts, plus or minus 5%

Best regards from Sweden

I used the tools mentioned by our friend from Sweden above, and the answer is no.

The only famous brand I know and available here which accept asus h110m-a/m.2 are kingston and crucial.

While corsair (that I was previously going to get) doesn't provide choice for asus h110m motherboard. And G.Skill memory finder tool said no compatible device found when choose the option for asus h110m motherboard.

So the answer from the information above is that G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4 16Gb (2x8Gb) Dual kit channel 2400 is not compatible with my current mobo.

Thanks to our Sweden friend.

Not sure about the answer from G.Skill support. May be they want to confirm it here.
