Hey guys I am having some problems on which ram to choose for my motherboard choice. The motherboard I have selected is
ASUS Maximus IV Extreme-Z
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131760
Now I don't know everything there is to building a computer, but I checked the QVL of the motherboard for memory. All the memory that it lists on newegg is deactivated or the specs don't match up in timings or voltage. Basically, I really want to use this ram -
CORSAIR DOMINATOR GT 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233183
As I hear sandybridge works well with 1.5 voltage memory. The reason for my direct choice of Corsair is mostly because of their excellent products and also this device -
CORSAIR AirFlow Pro
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181014
For this device to function properly and as intended you must use the memory modules that are compatible with the product being Corsair Dominator GT being one of them.
The problem this ram is not listed on the QVL of the supported memory, and I said much recently before, almost every single memory module it has for QVL is deactivated and I cannot locate it nor does it suite my preferences.
I myself am extremely interested in utilizing the features of the motherboard that comes standard on the board, I heard all you really do is flip a switch and the cpu automatically overclocks itself. I also hear it can do this will your ram as well, but I am not sure I cannot find a detailed video on the motherboard.
Will that corsair dominator gt ram work in that motherboard?
Also the CPU cooler is no issue I am going with the Haf X case with the Corsair H100 water cooling in a push-pull system so the space for the memory is not an issue.
Can somebody please HELP! :c
