Memory Compatibility with MSI A78M-E45

[Sweepyoface]

Hello.

On the list of compatible ram with the motherboard (MSI A78M-E45), it does not show any of the ram I would like to use. 2x4gb 1866 Corsair Vengeance or 2x4gb 1866 G.SKILL Ripjaws X. Does this mean that ram would definitely not work with that motherboard?

The RAM is not on the support list, it does not mean the RAM would or would not work with that MB. That means MSI does not test the RAM yet, and they can't test all the RAM, and put on the support list.

As long as the RAM speed is in the range that shows in the MB specifications, then they will work. And it depends on what cpu you will use too, if you use the A8-6600K, for example, the the RAM will run at 1866Mhz with amd XMP, because the cpu can support up to 1866MHz, http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bulldozer/AMD-A8-Series%20A8-6600K%20-%20AD660KWOA44HL.html over that speed you need oc the RAM. If you use the A10 7700K and the RAM may run at 2133mhz. ( You need oc RAM to run 2133MHz otherwise it will run at 1866MHz) http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bulldozer/AMD-A10-Series%20A10-7700K.html
