No one can say 100% that your "CMP8GX3M2A1600C9" won't have any problems. However, if Corsair doesn't list the modules I wouldn't purchase them!

note: Due to the chipset resource deployment, the system density will only be detected up

Good Luck & Hope this Answers your questions!

Hi Smart, another option of branded memory would be Kingston, i guess it is a prefrence but it is designed to be multi compatible, and i have always found it to be very reliable.

Kindest Regards Rob."

I prefer Corsair, Mushkin & G.SKILL - also Kingston HyperX H20 new line is pretty interesting. However, without being as certain as possible don't buy memory unless the MOBO and/or RAM manufactures state indeed it will work.
