wrong vendor memory used on M/B

[BungalowBill]

I have just realised that I have bought the wrong memory for my pc. I have installed Gskill Ripjaws F3-12800CL10D with timing 10-10-10-30 ,the ones below are on the Asus websiteG.SKILL F3-12800CL7D-8GBRH(XMP) 8GB ( 2x 4GB ) DS - - 7-8-7-24 1.6 ●●●
G.SKILL F3-12800CL7Q-16GBXH(XMP) 16GB ( 4x 4GB ) DS - - 7-8-7-24 1.6 ●●●
G.SKILL F3-12800CL8D-8GBECO(XMP) 8GB ( 2x4GB ) DS - - 8-8-8-24 1.35 ●●●
G.SKILL F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL(XMP) 8GB ( 2x 4GB ) DS - - 9-9-9-24 1.5 ●●●
G.SKILL F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR2(XMP) 8GB ( 2x 4GB ) DS - - 9-9-9-24 1.25 ●●●
G.SKILL F3-12800CL9Q-16GBXL(XMP) 16GB ( 4x 4GB ) DS - - 9-9-9-24 1.5 ●●●
G.Skill F3-12800CL9Q-16GBZL(XMP) 16GB ( 4x 4GB ) DS - - 9-9-9-24 1.5 ●●●and the ones in the user guide do not match either, the system has been running for about a year without any hitches. the main question is, does it effect the speed of the system or should I replace or upgrade the memory?

You should do nothing. Most memory will work in most motherboards that support the spec. As long as your not having crashes your good. The only difference between yours and one of those is CAS9 vs CAS10 timings. You might be able to get yours to CAS9 if you wanted but unless you are into tweaking and sinking time into testing for stability its really not worth bothering

There are a LOT of memory kits and there is simply no way for them all to be tested. Every once and a while though some memory won't "like" a specific board. So they do test and approve some popular kits to make it easier to select memory. It won't affect your warranty or anything either, just might avoid some hassle troubleshooting and dealing with support on a new build.

Yep, QVLs are pretty much worthless, see here:

While I would suggest 1600/9 as a minimum (instead of the CL10, the sticks you have will work fine with no problems

Make sure to configure settings in BIOS, or enable XMP/DOCP, then everything will run at full speed.
