Will Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 ram work on my motherboard?

[myfirstbuild]

Hello I am doing my first computer build, and I am not sure if Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 ram will work on my ASUS P8H61-M Pro Motherboard.

Welcome to Tom's Forum!

Work yes, work at DDR3-1600 frequency no.

Thanks a lot so would i get more out of this ram?

Also, is crucial a good manufacturer of ram?

Thanks again

Both will run essentially the same, DDR3-1333 9-9-9-24, Corsair @ 1.50v and Crucial @ 1.35v. So IMO whichever is cheapest.

If you want a slightly better performer then look for DDR3-1333 2x4GB CAS 8 or CAS 7 @ 1.50v. Example F3-10666CL7D-8GBRH http://gskill.com/products.php?index=322

Crucial -> http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/listparts.aspx?model=P8H61-M%20PRO&Cat=RAM

Thanks ,
I'm looking for ram in the price range of £30-£40. Would G Skill Ripjaws F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL 8 be better than the Crucial and Corsair ram or is it about the same again?

Many Thanks

Your MoBo supports DDR3 1333/1066, so getting DDR3-1600 would be a few wasted bucks.....

Before I go further....did you choose H61 or it was just the right price range ?Read about what the different chipsets mean to you here:

http://www.ukgamingcomputers.co.uk/difference-between-h67-p67-z68-and-h61-chipsets-a-22.html

Whilst this is a great feature it is worth noting the integrated graphics are not much cop and only really suited to HD video playback and very basic gaming .....

The downside of a H67 chipset is it supports very limited overclocking even if an unlocked ‘K’ Series CPU (i5 2500K & i7 2600K) is installed. To the overclockers, this is a completely no go chipset, but for everyone building a sandy bridge system on a budget it makes a great choice.

So in that regard, if you move to P67 or Z68, the tall RAM would be a concern as the memory you picked if you are planning on OC'ing, will likely hit the 3rd party CPU cooler ya would use.

The F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL is the same as the Crucial and Corsair posted earlier; DDR3-1333 CAS 9.

Here's a chart:
