tyrannosaurus Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 As I'm about building a new mini ITX system I wonder what memory is compatible with my cpu. The board can use much higher frequencies. But Intel says for i7-7700K only DDR 4 2133/2400 is supported. So which low profile set is working 100% in this configuration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emissary42 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Probably any of the Vengeance LPX dual kits should work, however you might have to manually enable the XMP. I would recommend to not get one of the highest available frequency kits, unless you are ok with having to adjust settings by yourself (timings, voltages).

I would recommend to not get one of the highest available frequency kits, unless you are ok with having to adjust settings by yourself (timings, voltages). Thank You for help. I've purchased DDR-3200 in error which works standard @2133 and XMP@3200 but not @2400. With activating XMP my cpu temps were jumping beyond 80°C. So meanwhile I've searched some threads and found this memory which is QVL rog strix gaming Z270i and fits the specs of my cpu: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB, DDR4-2400, CL16-16-16-39 (CMK16GX4M2A2400C16) If there are better solutions any further help is welcomed. My specs: Asus Rog Strix 270i Gaming i7-7700K Cpu Cooler: Noctua NH-9i with NOCTUA NF-A9 PWM Samsung 960 Pro NVMe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emissary42 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Thank You for help. I've purchased DDR-3200 in error which works standard @2133 and XMP@3200 but not @2400. With activating XMP my cpu temps were jumping beyond 80°C. Most kits only have one XMP for their rated specs. So if you want DDR4-2400, that's what you'd have to buy. The temp issue usually goes back to motherboards overcompensating voltages for the higher memory frequency and sometimes to some auto-cpu-oc that is in some weird (and -sorry- totally stupid) way tied to activating the XMP. If you manually adjust the VCCSA and the IO voltages and keep an eye on the cpu settings DDR4-3200 shouldn't really add much to cpu temps overall.

luizvictor Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I am looking for a dual 2x16GB. Is it compatible with Asus Z270i ROG Strix?Corsair CMR32GX4M2C3333C16 VENGEANCE RGB 32GB DDR4 3333 (PC4-26600) C16 Desktop Memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Art Posted April 3, 2018 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 3, 2018 Check your motherboard manual's QVL online. I'd stick to 3200 or 3000 to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
