i7 7700k ram question

[johnmelosi]

Hello All,

I have an i7 7700k CPU and was wondering if this ram is compatible with it...

I was looking at : https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232476


G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-16GTZR


If not, what do you recommend around the same price that is good?


Thank you

The 7700k should work perfectly fine with that RAM. I'd recommend a slightly lower speed RAM kit: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qjM323/gskill-trident-z-rgb-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr3-3000-memory-f4-3000c16d-16gtzr. I don't think the extra $30-40 is worth the minor gains in speed.

Memory compatibility depends mainly on motherboard not CPU. Open your motherboard webpage and see their approved memory list. Although sometimes other memories work fine but not tested by the motherboard vendor.
