Will the ASUS B85M-G 1150 support flawlessly 2x 4GB DDR3 1333 mhz Kingston ram used in a previous AMD Build?

That is the question , i want to be sure about it and i cant find it on the asus official mobo web . Does intel have different kind of ddr3 ram memory? I got confused about the CL9 CL7 thing i have no idea what it is

All motherboards will take either DDR, DDR2, DDR3, or DDR4 ram, ram isn't specific for either amd or intel cpu's. That motherboard will support your ddr3 1333 mhz, it can support up to 32gb.

All DDR3 is the same except for the speed and the Latency (Cas). Not all is compatible with every motherboard.

If it is not on the Asus compatibility list, no one can tell you for sure.

If someone has used that combo before, they can tell you.

Cas is the number of clock ticks it takes for 1 memory operation.
typically a cas 9 s full number would be 9 9 9 24
That means it takes 51 clock tics for 1 memory operation.

Cas7 is faster than 9, but you won't notice without a benchmark program.

The problem is that there isnt a compatibility list in the asus webpage , so idk where to look at , there should be a list there . So are you saying that i will never know for sure ? = ( This i shorrible , is there any way apart from asking someone with the same combo to know if it works?

I dont think my ram sticks have anything alike a cas7 or cas9

 

[rmark45matsu]

It will work 100%. Your motherboard is ddr3 ram and that ram is ddr3.

 

[millwright]

Now that's just silly.
It very well might work, but all DDR3 doesn't work in all boards.
That just shows a lack of experience.

Your right I am new at this 😀, but pcpartpicker says there's no compatibility issues.

 

[millwright]

I thought it was impossible that Asus didn't have a list.

Download the first file.
It is the list.

Memory not on the list could still be compatible, it just means they didn't test it.

OOoooh thank you so much millwright , i found this :

KINGSTON KVR1333D3N9/4G(Low Profile) 4GB DS ELPIDA J2108BCSE-DJ-F - 1.5V ● ● ●
KINGSTON KVR1333D3N9/4G 4GB DS KTC D2568JENCNGD9U - 1.5V ● ● ●
KINGSTON KVR1333D3N9/4G 4GB DS Hynix H5TQ2G83AFR - - ● ● ●
KINGSTON KVR1333D3N9/4G-SP(Low 4GB DS KINGSTON D2568JENCPGD9U - 1.5V

All talk about 1333 mhz 4 gb memory ram sticks , so that means mine will work right ? one of these 4 types of ram should be mine for sure ?

 

[millwright]

If it is the same number it is the same, if not it's not.
This is an exact science.

Your chances are high though.

 

[marciokpo]

Well they are KVR1333D3N9/4G as for the "part number" , but the "chip number" i havent found it , surely if the part number is the same is there still a chance it wont be compatible?

 

[millwright]

Part number is what you are looking for.

It is pretty hard to find info on the chips, unless something has changed.

If it is the same part number, it should be compatible.

Amazing then i feel less worried now thanks !
