[SOLVED] Is CMK64GX4M2E3200C16 compatible with Asus Prime Z370-A?

[KeyMerVin]

Hi! Simple question, but hard to find answer;

I found that CMK32GX4M2E3200C16 is compatible, but couldn´t find answer for CMK64GX4M2E3200C16 . Seems like it "requires" Z390 mobo...

I could buy and return it if it wasn´t compatible, but I prefer not to, just in case the shop gives me a problem, so I came to ask you

It should be, as the only difference between CMK32GX4M2E3200C16 and CMK64GX4M2E3200C16 is the memory capacity, and my mobo supports up to 64gb... but I´ll wait for your answer.

Btw, RAMS are Corsair Vengeance LPX. EAN: 840006619208

Thanks!

What CPU are you using, because on these last few Intel generations different CPUs even from the same Gen support different maximum memory speeds. Can't even check the Corsair memory finder utility without knowing the CPU model for compatibility on Z370 boards.

I7 8700k

Another option I have is buying twice the 2x16 kit, as the shop claims it is compatible with "intel 100 series, intel 200 series, intel 300 series", etc. I would not lose dual channel and I dont mind being using the four slots...

No, don't do that. When you buy memory you want to buy ALL of the memory you need, in ONE kit, not multiple kits.

Please read this so you can more fully understand the situation with mixing memory, even mixing memory that is the exact same model or part number.

In the beginning, there was......BIOS Before you go ANY further, go to the manufacturer product page for your specific motherboard model AND revision. Revision is an important aspect because for any given motherboard there may be more than one version of that model which will be identified...

Also, that 64GB kit with model number CMK64GX4M2E3200C16 shows as being compatible on the Corsair memory finder.

Thank you ^^. You did not just answer my question, but also granted me new knowledge ^^. Thank you very much ^^

What do you mean I didn't answer the question? You asked if that kit was compatible, and it is, and that's what I said. Corsair says that memory kit is compatible and is VALIDATED as compatible, with the Z370-A, and that is what you asked

 

[KeyMerVin]

Oh, no, sorry, my bad; Im spanish and that betrayed me; I meant you DID answer ^^

You did not just answer my question, but also granted me new knowledge ^^.

Sounds to me you meant it the right way. 😉

 

[Darkbreeze]

Yes, looking at it again, it was ME that misunderstood, because now that I look at it again it's pretty clear that he was saying that I answered his question AND granted new knowledge. So, my bad all the way around.

Thank you both @Vic 40 and @Darkbreeze ^^
