Hello, seeking confirmation if the following MB and RAM are compatible. I have done research and I think they are, but there are details that are beyond me. Thanks in advance!

Sorry to bother you again, but I saw this RAM which is less expensive and looks almost identical; it seems the timing and latency are slightly different. Do you think it is also compatible with the MoBo?

Thank you!
