ASUS P8P67-M PRO with KINGSTON HYPERX FURY

[gvigano]

Hi guys,
I need some help here.

I have a mobo ASUS P9P67M PRO with 1X4Gb Corsair vengeance 2000MHz, and I wanna change the Cosrsair for a KINGSTON HYPERX FURY 8GB (1X8) DDR3 1866MHZ HX318C10FW/8.

I've heard the this memory is incompatible with my mobo (in UserBenchmark). Is that true? Or can i use the HyperX without problems?

The kingston site ensure that all kingston memories (with more than 1600MHz) work with my ASUS P8P67-M PRO.

Thank you,
Have a nice day.

If RAM is not in QVL - Asus just not recommend to use it (may work or may not work).
Depends from CPU too: make sure that your CPU can support 1600MHz RAM at native mode.

What is a RAM in QVL?

QVL is the qualified vendor list. Basically it's a bunch of ram from different vendors that's been tested on that mobo and the manufacturer has certified it as compatible. This is done through model numbers as the HyperX for example has different models, some are single sided chips, some double sided, some 1.65v, some 1.5v even some 1.35v. If the model number you are looking at is not on the list, its one of 2 things. Either it's been tested and is not compatible or its just not been tested. The single best option is to have a copy of that list and when buying ram, choose a model that IS on the list. You can dl that list from Asus website specifically for your motherboard.

Here the link for your CPU specifications. Looks like it can support native DDR3 1066/1333. It means harder overclocking ability to 2000MHz RAM.

Thank you sir!
I've read the QVL and the memory I wanna buy (HyperX 1x8Gb) are not there. I spoke with some guy on the online store and he said that if my mobo supports DDR3 it should work just fine.

I do believe that those HyperX 1.5V 1866MHz work in the p8p67-M PRO. I just wanna be sure before I buy. Was searching for someone that have a p8p67-m pro and uses HyperX memories to see if they work.

Thank you again for your time.
