Stick to QVL or no?
Im looking at probably corsair vengance lpx 3000mhz as its on the QVL and you cant really go wrong with Corsair.
Ive had trouble with Asus boards and non QVL RAM before.

Thanks,

I would stick to QVL, especially if you're at the faster end of the spectrum. You probably won't have any problems with non QVL if it's 2400 or 2666, but at 3000 MHz it's probably not worth the risk. Price differences are pretty marginal between different brands of RAM anyway.

Actually thats a good point, never thought of that thanks. Its been ages since I OC'd and all im trying to do is just ensure that RAM isnt going to be a limiting factor so...as long as I dont go super cheap it should be OK!
