Is Installation of a Memory that isn't in the QVL of my Motherboard Possible?

[foolbar]

Hey guys. I currently have Asus Z97-AR motherboard and Kingston Hyperx Savage Red 8GB(2x4) memory. I want to upgrade my memory to 16GB and sell mine if I could. I found a 2133Mhz C9 2x8 kit with a reasonable price. But the problem is this memory is not included in my Mobo's QVL and also my mobo is not included in this memory's QVL. There is Asus Z97-A on the memory's QVL but not Z97-AR. The memory is G. Skill F3-2133C9-GXH. I've read many threads saying QVL is the memory list that the mobo companies test their mobos with these memories before the release and these memories are guaranteed to work with the mobo.

Could you guys tell me that whether I can use this kit without any problem or not looking at tested 2133mhz memories' timings and voltages on the QVL of my motherboard?

Here is the motherboard's QVL:

Sure, it is possible. But instead of 2133 MHz, it may work at 1333 MHz or 1600 Mhz.

The chance of the difference between Z97-A and Z97-AR being the RAM support is cloze to zero. The difference is shown to be 4 different integrated GPU output ports neing present in Z97-A, but only 2 different integrated GPU output ports being present in Z97-AR.

So I can't use it at 2133 MHz even with XMP? If so, no point buying 2133 MHz then right?

Maybe you can, maybe you can not.

Look at this article that details what kind of performance increase you can get at different DDR3 RAM speeds on Z97 motherboard : http://techbuyersguru.com/does-ram-speed-matter-ddr3-1600-vs-1866-2133-and-2400-games?page=0
