Hello Tom’s Hardware!
Recently I’ve posted a couple of questions here on the forum involving my change to a new board, and thus a new processor. I’ve had a couple suggestions to stick with Kaby Lake, with most of the suggestions being to go with Ryzen/Coffee Lake. As of writing, I plan to move to Ryzen. Most of these questions propose that i’d like 16GB of RAM, within the 2666/3200MHz clock range. However, as a venture into saving money for a new GPU, and a cheaper and reliable option, I’ve considered just sticking with 8GB.
So, while I have no problem with purchasing more RAM, I’d like to see if my current RAM will work.
This is G.Skill’s page to their NT series “value” RAM, relatively cheap and unimpressive RAM that performs well, without all the unnecessary heat spreaders, at a fairly low 2400MHz.

This is my current RAM in my system, aside from a very slightly different QVL and CAS timings. My stick is F4-2400C15S-8GNT with CAS 15-15-15-35. From all visual perspectives they look identical, but that’s not going to mean anything goes if this stick doesn’t work in an ASRock X370 SLI/ac board. Using G.Skill’s RAM configurator, the RAM I posted via link works fine. And from all I can see, my own current RAM should work as well?
If you don’t mind, maybe I can get a second pair of eyes on this? Just to be cautious.
Thanks-
