RAM compatibility

Jonesy2062 · 10 Sep 2013 at 23:10

Hi All,

Sorry for the really stupid question but I have checked compatibility listings and i'm still not entirely 100% sure if this will work.

I currently have 8G of CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 Corsair RAM in my PC and am looking to upgrade the mobo and CPU to an i5 4500k and a ASUS z87-k.

I am looking to cut prices by using the same RAM, will it work? I checked the corsair compatibility listing and the faster CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9 is on there but not the 1600 stuff.

Cheers for the help in advance, always found RAM to be my achilles!

current board is p8p67 running an i5 2500k but i do remember having a few slight issues with needing to configure the RAM post-install.

End of the day I don't mind buying new RAM but saving 50 quid makes it all much easier to take in!

nice one, thanks for the speedy responses, i'll give it a go and hopefully they will work then, maybe even bump it up to 16gb with another 2 sticks!

Cheers
