LGA115 memory for LGA2011 mobo

[deltaback]

Hey guys,

I recently purchased this memory kit: G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL10D-16GBXL 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3

I also purchased an ASRock X79 Extreme3 mobo

What Im basically wondering is will RAM designed for LGA1155/1156 motherboards work with an LGA2011 based mobo?

Thanks

Absolutely. There's literally no difference. It's just marketing BS.

Thanks so much DJDeCiBeL!

I was starting to worry id have to splurge another 40 bucks just to get the x79 designed kit

cheers!
