IS This RAM Compatible?

[celtic_warrior99]

Hi. I am getting an ASrock H97M Anniversary motherboard and an i3 4160. Which of these RAM sets will be compatible and which set is the best? Thanks-

Use this, to determine what RAM you should use-

All three memory manufacturers do not appear to have compatible memory listed for the ASRock H97M Anniversary motherboard. So memory compatibility can't be confirmed.

Some or all of the memory of interest may be compatible anyway, as the memory manufacturers may not have yet tested the H97M motherboard for compatibility.

Assuming memory is compatible, the best set to get (based on memory parameters) would be the Patriot DIMM's.

What CPU? Best bet is a 1600 set, 1866/2133 may be problematic, would look at the GSkill Snipers or Ripjaws X in 1600/9....

Im paring it with an i3 4160.

 

[Tradesman1]

Yep, 1600

 

[celtic_warrior99]

What about if i paired with an i5 4590?

 

[Tradesman1]

1866 probably 😉

 

[celtic_warrior99]

Ill stil be using the H97. It still only supports 1600, will the i5 change that?

Can try manually and see
