I was looking at upgrading Ram, I've been having a lot of issues with my computer freezing thought I would try different ram. Have already tested this ram and RMA and get new ram, new motherboard, new cpu, new CPU cooler. Still getting freezes. I have a Sabertooth Z170 and i have 2133 ram was gonna upgrade to 3200. It says on the motherboard list of vendors that only CMK will work but all the ram is CMD.

Solution
Vengeance might easily work. All the QVL is, is a list of what has been tested that is known to work. It doesn't differentiate between untested RAM and RAM that doesn't work. It's a gamble.
