I'm looking at buying a 9600k with a Asus Prime z390 motherboard. I have 16gb of 2400 ddr4 on my old 1150 motherboard, can anyone tell me if this ram will work with the new 1151 motherboard and cpu?

The product description on OCUK for the motherboard says it supports ram from 2666 speeds. The asus website says it supports ram from 2133. Just looking for a confirmation before I take the plunge.

Thanks

any ddr4 should be fine unless your running 4000hz plus kits etc :)

push Gigabyte z390 is you can, about £120 and the better designed board , MSI done a good job too
 
Are you sure it's DDR4 that you have because socket 1150 was mainly a DDR3 platform? Even if it is DDR3 that you have, 16Gb of 2400mhz DDR3 will fetch a very good price when sold which can be put towards a DDR4 kit.

99.9999999999999% sure all 1150 are DDR3, and just the early skylake 1151 supporting DDR3 and DDR4 not on same board...
 
That's why I was asking because the only non-standard DDR3 1150 boards I could find were the weird ones that took laptop memory. I am pretty sure he has DDR3 that cannot be carried over.
