Will this work?

Hi Folks, maybe a noob question but i am looking to order my SandyBridge kit but confused if this will work.

Will this memory

work with this board
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-045-AK

I have checked the AsRock website and cant find the memory listed in the memory support list. So does this generally mean it will not work? Or as these sticks are pretty new they just havnt got round to updating their list?
Thanks

This will work as well:

It's much cheaper, lower profile so no heatsink clashes and works well (I have two of the 8GB kits).

would i notice much of a difference between the GSkill C7 kit over the Gel C9? Not really too bothered about the price, however having ram that wouldnt clash with my Fenrir would be nice

Other than benchmarking I doubt you'd see any real world difference.

I have a Sycthe Ninja 3 in one system and I couldn't have used the first memory slot without using the lower profile memory.
