OK, so my RAM is:
Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX
(long name, I know)

and my motherboard is Asus M5A97 LE r2.0

So I bought these two components and checked my motherboards Quaified RAM vendors list and I couldnt find my ram from that list. I found almost excactly same RAMs but the name ending was different.

My RAM
Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9D3K 2/8GX

The RAM I founded from the list
Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9D3K 3/12GX

So, is it OK/safe to instal this RAM to this motherboard.

HUGE thanks for the answers in advance ~ Larry

Since the model numbers match and the only difference is the amount of ram, you should have no issues, i assume the 8GB is 2x4gb so the 12gx is 3x4gb, you should have no issues whatsoever
