Ram compatibility help!

sam690 · 10 Dec 2012 at 21:56

I was just about to order these 2 components along with the rest of my build and only read the information on the ram, it says its 'Compatible with Intel X79, Z68 and P67 platforms' can anyone reassure me that it will work with the Z77 series as i really wanted this ram and motherboard.

Thanks

I use the Corsair Dominator Platinum memory and they look great in the dark.

Its hard to tell, the sticks are rated for 2400mhz so im a bit limited with my IMC. The highest I have had them is 2448mhz 9-11-11-25 1T but I think they would go higher with a more capable CPU.

I have seen quite a few reviews for dominator platinum rated for different speeds and in most of the reviews they have oced well.
