Hello, i was wondering if any of my ram was compatible with the z68 motherboards?

CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9

and

CMX8GX3M4A1600C9
 
CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 - any of the series will work, pick a color.

CMX8GX3M4A1600C9 - NO, it's 1.65v and Sandy Bridge is best suited for 1.50v, and it's best not to load the DIMM slots full.

My favorite 2x4GB set is F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM DDR3-1600 CAS 8-8-8-24-2N @ 1.50v and easily runs in 2 (2x4GB) or 4x4GB at DDR3-1600.
