I've bought those components and now I realised that my RAM won't be compatible with my mobo.

Can you please suggest me a new RAM that will 100% compatible?

Many thanks in advance!
 
Solution
Always try what you have, update bios, and down date bios. Usually name brand ram will work with any board, have you tried it yet or just looked at list after order and it's not on compatibility list?

Gskill flareX are probably the most compatible ones of all right now
 


Your chosen RAM kit will be compatible, but you may not be able to run it above 2133 Mhz.
