Are G.Skill Sniper (DDR3 2x4GB 1866MHz) compatilable with ASUS M5A78L-M LX3?

I'm looking for new memories in my system. I have an AMD FX-6100 and an ASUS M5A78L-M LX3 motherboard.I saw these RAMs and i wonder if they are compatilable with the whole system.Are them compatilable and if it ain't what is a great choice for my system (8gb)?

P.S.:I want them for gaming

Hi staurosstoikos

G.Skill F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 F3-14900 1866MHz Sniper Series 9-10-9-28 Dual Channel kit are not listed on the MB QVL so have not been tested. G.Skill are good DIMMs however you should select a kit that's listed on the QVL to be sure they will work out of the box.

You can download the QVL from here: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A78LM_LX3/HelpDesk_QVL/

Hi! Can you tell me some good memories that I can buy (8gb for gaming)

I recommend the following kit that have been tested and should work.

CORSAIR CMY8GX3M2A1866C9 as an 8GB 2x4 Kit
CORSAIR CMZ16GX3M2A1866C10(Ver4.21) as a 16GB 2x8 Kit

If you feel you only require 8GB then the 2x4 kit are good however if the games you play are AAA then a 16GB kit is recommended as 8GB will be insufficient. It would not be a good idea to add another 8GB to an existing 8GB at a later date due to possible Latency differences between kits.
