Hello . So i want to buy a 2x2Gb Corsair RAM kit with the code CMX4GX3M2A1600C8 .
Will my motherboard support this ? I found on the list that my motherboard can support That it can support the corsair kit with the code CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 . Only the last number is different . Can it run it ?

I had trouble before with compatibility on my motherboard with 2 sticks now. I just sold a DDR3 1333 mhz stick that didn`t work with my pc . Same specs as my old one . It just didn`t work

Motherboard name and model number, without those specs it'll be hard to tell with what will work and what will not work.

Yes but with my clarkdale I3-540 it supports 1067 , 1333 and 1600.. It`s just the last number that`s different in the code . You can see the clarkdale ram support sheet .
And i`m planning to make it run at 1333 mhz to "TRY" to match it with another stick .
LE : because i`m stupid

The motherboard has the latest bios update (1709) . I tried two different ram sticks untill now and none of them work . They had the same specs : 1333 mhz , 4gb , CL9 , and that`s why I want the corsair ones , because the code matches to my mtb support list .

The problem is I live in Romania , so i don`t think i can buy off of newegg . And after buying 2 sticks of ram (40 $) i`m out off money untill i can sell them . I allready have 4 gb and i just want 8 . With my rig , 16 gb would be an overkill . I only have a gtx 650 and an i3 540 . it`s not worth it . Tried to make each ram work with my pc , but no luck .
Thank you anyway maikutech

Hmm its long shot but depending on your budget during the next 2 months, you could move past the lga 1156 series.
You could go for the lga 1155 or 1150 socket mobo and cpus.
As long as your old parts function perfectly fine without any issue the mobo/ram/cpu combo would sell well for maybe 200.00 us dollars at best.
I used to own that core i3 540, good chip but outright sad for any medium/max games.

You're only issue would be finding sellers in europe and uk willing to ship out to you.
Amazon international mentioned in their faq it shouldn't be that hard unless you have custom/shipping problems in your area.

Thank you so much for your help . I just exchanged my ram with 2x2GB Kingston hyperx modules (double sided) and now it all works . I have 8 gb of ram running in dual channel .
