TomGu Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I am starting a new build with a 4790K in an Asus Z97 Pro and wanted to use 2x8gb sticks of 1833 or 2133. However, the memory finder on this site only shows 8gb sticks in 1333. Are there no 8gb sticks available for the Z97 Pro board in 1866 or 2133? Thank you.

emissary42 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Almost any 2x8gb ddr3 kits will run just fine on ASUS Z97 Pro, be it DDR3-1866, 2133 or 2400. Listed in the memory finder are only combinations that actually have been tested. That does however not mean unlisted kits won't work and the ASUS Z97 models have very good memory compatibility in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomGu Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 I completed the build using a kit of CMY16GX3M2A2133C11R of DDR3, 2133, 11-11-11-27, 1.5V. Memtest86+ did show two errors during a three pass run and I elected to ignore the errors as the computer ran Prime95 for twelve hours without error and I had found some references questioning the reliability of Memtest86+ with higher speed ram. Am now getting intermittent (2 per day?) freeze-ups and/or crashes and suspect one of the ram modules may indeed have issues. I am 8 days beyond the 30 day return period at Newegg so will need assistance from Corsair to exchange the ram. Is there further testing I must do before contacting Corsair for assistance? Thank you.
