Motherboard compatibility

Hi,

Motherboard died so I need to buy a new one. Could someone please kindly confirm if the RAM I have would be compatible with the MSI Z490-A-Pro Motherboard?

The RAM is CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX 8GB 2400MHZ DDR4 MEMORY RAM MODULE CM4X8GF2400Z16K4

Thanks very much

Yes it will work but mite be worth moving to 16gb 3200mhz if you gaming .

8GB hasn't cut it for years. No-one with any sense would recommend an 8GB kit these days for gaming or anything else really, the advice given above is sound.
