Memory/mobo Question

Lazy · 9 Aug 2012 at 11:27

Well my RAM is Backordered due to stock shortage‏, but what I forgot to do is check on the Motherboards compatible ram, which upon looking the Corsair vengeance ram I have chosen is not there. Is this just due to the mass amount of different models/manufacturers that only a few are tested on my system or will they outright not work.

Ive also looked at some other ram which I was considering buying which isnt on their either, the patriot viper which is a different model to the one stock on ocuk.

Surely it should still work shouldnt it?

Yes.

As long as the RAM meets the specifications for the motherboard it's almost certain to work.

Thanks.

Have you had any experience of patriot ram, since Ive only heard of it once and didnt really hear any reviews of it. Would you say theyre on par with corsair vengeance since for the same price theyre at the same spec (timings and speed). So theyd just basically have different heatsinks?
