Unsure if my new memory (Brand: Avant) will be compatible with desired motherboard

[slinkie45]

I recently got some memory from a friend who works at the manufacturing plant for a huge discount. I got 2 4gb DDR3-1600 modules.

Now, the problem is that the motherboard I'm looking to buy (Gigabyte GA-Z87-UD3H) to house these sticks does not explicitly support this brand, Avant - and a quick Google search tells me that most others don't, either. I suppose it's just an obscure brand. Now, I know that just because the motherboard site does not state outright that a specific type of memory is supported doesn't mean it isn't, but I just want to make sure I don't need to go get some more memory.

From what I've gathered from the Avant site, these are the specifications for the RAM I have:
CAS Latency 9
1.5 V
DDR3-1600 UDIMM

Will there be any foreseeable issues with these sticks? From what I can tell, they'll work, but it seems like it's a gamble.

It will work 100% sure of it as long as it isn't server memory or anything weird like that. Just because it isn't listed on the support memory doesn't mean that it won't work. I have never once had this issue in the desktop environment.

Can you get me a discount too?🙂

Should be fine, the QVL lists are sort of a joke anyway, they 'test' with whatever is laying around, and they 'test' at the mobo default, not the DRAMs spec freq, be better off if they published a list of what DOESN'T work, except it would normally be an empty list 😉 See more on my info thread:
