I don't see why not, I bought some team group vulcan 3000mhz and it runs fine.

I've always had ocz or corsair ram in the past.
The heat sinks look a little tall so maybe careful with clearance if you have a crazy big cpu cooler?

cool, and done. thank you

Hope it works OK now, lol, no reason it shouldn't.. But you'll probably have to enable xmp or manually overclock it to get full advertised speeds.

You've linked DDR4 RAM, but isn't your CPU and motherboard DDR3?

Edit: Yep, looks like you've ordered the wrong RAM. You need DDR3, your board doesn't support DDR4.

I can't see signatures on mobile view, really sorry if I've given bad advice.

DDR4 is generally not compatible with ddr3.

But ocuk customer service are pretty good, give them a ring and I'm sure they will sort you out with a return replacement.

Or if it's not shipped yet then it's not even a problem.

Damnnnn, RAM has doubled in price since last year! (Haven't looked at RAM for ages as I'm not building currently).

Yeh, welcome to brexit, my gpu is still the same price, but my ram, and SSD have gone up significantly!

Its not due to brexit, its a global increase. Samsung and Hynix two of the three main memory chip manufacturers are having reduced yields moving to a smaller manufacturing process while demand is ever increasing, Micron, the smallest isn't having manufacturing issues but is too small to meet the extra demand.
