Need help with ram compatibility.

boblook · Dec 26, 2017

So I have an i5-7600k and a gigabyte h270m motherboard and am wondering which ram I should get and wondering if these two cheap ram kits are even compatible:

Have you checked the ram QVL in the manual for your motherboard?
#2 is for a laptop, won't work on your motherboard.

You really want to get DDR4 2400. You can't go faster due to the motherboard limitations but there will be a performance hit with 2133.

2400 cas 14. You're not going to get anything faster than that.

You can save about $10 at the expense of much higher timings.

Would this one work then?

or this:

No I wouldn't buy something branded HP or Lenovo.

The 4GB might work.

The 2nd one, 8GB, definitely won't work in that motherboard.

Why? I wouldn't recommend either but I don't see any glaring incompatibilities with the 8GB stick?
