F3-1600C11D-16GIS + Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP + Intel i3-4330. Are they XMP compatible?
Good day to all in this forum
This is my first message here and I am glad to participate to this very informative and useful forum.
I have recently purchased a DDR3 Aegis kit of 16GB (as detailed in the thread title), which will be used for building a new PC from scratch. This kit will be put in a Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP mobo, together with an Intel i3-4330, socket 1150 CPU, as noted in the thread title.
My question is if this type of DIMMs are XMP compatible. For the motherboard and the CPU I am sure that they both are, I have already verified it from multiple sources.
Before being able to post here, I placed a similar question to the well known Tom's Hardware forum, where I received an answer from a forum member, posting as "gskill support" and identified as "Official G.Skill Representative". In his posting, that gentleman said:
No (it is not), it is not necessary because it is CL11. The RAM is plug and play so it does not require XMP to enable settings. The motherboard will automatically detect and use them properly after they are installed. Only kits better than DDR3-1600 CL11 will need XMP Profile, such as DDR3-1600 CL9, DDR3-1866 CL10, so forth..
I assume that this is an official answer, but I would like to verify it here, in this forum. Reason is that, at the same time, I also received different replies from other members of that forum, but no one of them is identified as "Official G.SKILL Representative".
Thanks in advance.
