Will this ram work with this motherboard?

[cha11enger]

Hello once again,

I just bought a bunch of hardware and I came to the question, will the ram I bought work with the motherboard I bought?

So I came to you guys to help me out.


The ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C9D-8GXL

The ram link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231689

The motherboard: ASRock FM2A88X Extreme6+ FM2+ / FM2 AMD A88X (Bolton D4) HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

The motherboard link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157457&Tpk=fm2a88x%20extreme6


The CPU I bought is the A10-6800K and it's native ram speed compatibility is 2133, so that's what this ram is clocked at so we are fine there.


I also want to know what timing and cas latency are and what they do. I've been around PC's that was compatible with one ram and one ram only, so I have never run into that problem till now building a up-to-date system. But today's motherboards, aren't the compatible with most of all ram on the market (that is if the mobo is non ECC/unbufferd and the ram is too)?


All help is appreciated,

Should be fine, install, go into BIOS and look in the advanced area for DRAM settings, believe this supports DOCP (maybe EOCP or XMP - which are OCing profiles) find it - enable it and set to 2133)

Ok thanks!

I'll enable the XMP profile when I install it.

Thanks,
