I have a asrock z77 pro 4 motherboard and have the G.Skill Sniper DDR3 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) PC RAM (F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR) RAM inserted in 2 of the 4 slots (1 & 3) available. I just about mistakenly thought that every modern ram would be compatible with a modern mother board - so I admit, without proper investigation I purchased a corsair vengeance Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) PC RAM (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10).
The differences I see between these 2 RAMs are in CAS latency - 9-9-9-24-2n vs 9-9-9-24 and Dual-Channel vs Quad-Channel.
Three questions:
1) Should I return the corsair vengeance RAM?
2) If not, Is Corsair Vengeance compatible with asrock z77 pro4? I do not see this RAM listed in asrock site.
3) If there is a way to workaround without returning it, what are the ideal bios settings to do in motherboard?
Thanks always for your responses.
