Hi there,
I've just gone to upgrade the RAM in my machine, which is an i5 12500 running in a Z790 Aorus Elite AX.
Currently running some old Hynix, 2 x 8gb DDR5 @ 4800.
Have picked up some Crucial, 2 x 16gb @ 6400.
So far so good. However, having just received it, on the packaging it says "Requirements: Intel 13th to 14th Gen".
I'm on 12th Gen...
So, before I crack open the blister packaging, will this stuff actually work? I don't mind it running slower than 6400 as I'll upgrade the CPU eventually, but I'd rather not open it up, just to find it totally incompatible.
Thanks
