Motherboard compatibility

[hakestom]

Hello .

Before buying a motherboard I have found, I would just like to make sure that this ram is compatible with it , I'v already checked the motherboards compatibility list and I found a ram module that had roughly the same name but a few numbers were different so anybody who can confirm they are compatible would be greatly appreciated .

Here's the Board :

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-M5A78L-M-USB3-Motherboard-Socket/dp/B0054U7HIO/ref=sr_1_6?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1328730921&sr=1-6


and the ram :

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9-1600MHz-Vengeance-Memory/dp/B004CRSM4I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1328731320&sr=8-2

One last thing , the board is for a gaming pc I'm creating do you think its suitable , and if not why ?

Many thanks

The compatibility list means that they have tested and signed off on the ram. Generally if you see a match with another ram in regard to speed and latency it should be fine. I'd recommend sending a quick email to ASUS support.

I have yet fo find any memory I've purchased that didn't work with any board I've purchased. That said, it is always good to go by the QVL if you can. Yours should work fine... if the sticks aren't too tall/too close to clear the CPU/HSF.
