Dominator Platinum (4*4GB) 1600 and Sabertooth Z77

Hi,

 

I've just run my new mobo (Sabertooth Z77) through the configurator and it looks like the RAM I had picked out - CMD8GX3M2A1600C8 - isn't compatible. Is that correct? The CPU is an i7 3770K.

 

Sorry if this has been asked and I've missed it. Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

 

Chris

CMD8GX3M2A1600C8 Compatible with Intel Z77, X79, Z68 and P67 platforms

but only one kit, not 2 kits combined as i believe you have installed by your description.

same part# does not matter, if your ram came in 2 packages thats not a supported configuration.

see below and links.

Ah, thanks for the quick response! I ordered the RAM yesterday but haven't fitted it yet so no harm done. Looking at the product list, it doesn't look like I can use 16GB of Dominator Platinum in any configuration :[pouts:

 

Can you or anyone recommend an alternative of comparable quality? Or was it overkill to order 16GB and actually 2 of the 4GB sticks would be plenty? The rest of the rig is an MSI GTX680 Lightning (2GB), 256GB SSD and 2TB Caviar Black.

 

Thanks again.

 

Chris
