RAM Compatibility with motherboard

[DeadMan_DDProds]

I'm looking to build in a new computer. I have the ASRock Fatal1ty Z97X Killer as my motherboard and I'm having some trouble picking RAM. I'm looking at G.SKILL Trident X 16GB (F3-2400C10D-16GTX), but I'm not sure if the mobo supports it. On G.SKILL's website, it says the memory is supported on the mobo, but I can't find the memory listed on ASRock's list of supported RAM.

Do you folks know if this RAM is supported on the Z97X Killer?

That RAMs are supported by your Motherboard "- Dual Channel DDR3 Memory Technology
- 4 x DDR3 DIMM Slots
- Supports DDR3 3200+(OC)/2933(OC)/2800(OC)/2400(OC)/2133(OC)/1866(OC)/1600/1333/1066 non-ECC, un-buffered memory
- Max. capacity of system memory: 32GB*
- Supports Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) 1.3 / 1.2
"

Those RAMs run at 2400MHz

Yes it will work no problem. Memory is memory and the "verified memory" lists that they have is utter propaganda. As long as your motherboard and cpu support that type of ram, the speed, and the capacity you are completely fine. And in your case it does so youre golden. Nice memory by the way 😀 I have the 2x4gb kit of that and I love it. When you get it in your system make sure you go to your bios and make an XMP. It will then allow you to use that 2400MHz.. Otherwise it will just use 1600MHz which would be pointless. Another quick tip that not many people notice is that at the end of the memory there are little screws holding on the red heat spreader. So if you have a big cpu cooler and have clearance issues then just unscrew the screw at the end and BAM you now have low profile memory.

Awesome. Thanks for the help and the tips, man. Really appreciate it.
