rainerrocket Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 hi super quick im curious if CML8GX3M2A1600C9W will be compatible with z77x ud3h, i5 3570k I will be putting 16gb worth on this motherboard, will it work or not, i cant seem to get a straight answer from other forums, reason im asking is, the build is going to be all white black and hint of blue any feedback would be very helpful thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Yes, they would be compatible. Just keep in mind they are 1.35v modules and on your system will probably need to be set to 1.5v to operate correctly at rated speeds. The Vengeance series was designed and tested for the Sandy/Ivybridge CPU's. However, i strongly suggest you just get a 16gig kit instead of two 8 gig kits. There is no way to guarantee that the two sets would play nice with each other. Corsair does niot suggest or support mixing/combining memory like that because of the various issues that can come from mixing sets...even though they are the same part number. Unfortunately the LP whites do not come in a 16gig kit... so a black 16 gig kit would be a better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you have issues or cant get them to run at rated speeds there isn't a lot they can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainerrocket Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 k kindaof a silly question but do you know the timings of the ram? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Should be printed on the label of each stick. http://www.corsair.com/memory-by-product-family/vengeance/vengeance-low-profile-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cml8gx3m2a1600c9w.html Also if they will not run on XMP you may need to increase the voltage to 1.5v even though they are rated at 1.35v.
