Hi there! I have an old PC and planning on upgrading its GPU to AMD Vega 64 or Nvidia GTX 1070 Ti. With that I was advised to also upgrade the Memory RAM to a faster one. Thus I am considering to replace my existing 16 GB (2 x 8GB) G.Skill Sniper DDR3-1600 CL9-9-9-24 (F3-1600C9D-16GSR) Memory RAMs with 2400 MHz version. I would like to know what are the compatible G.Skill memory sticks. I've found some stocks of the following G.skill DDR3s in NewEgg but before I buy, I would like to confirm if they will work with my board:
- Sniper 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) F3-2400C11D-16GSR
- Sniper 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) F3-2400C11Q-32GSR
- Ares 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) F3-2400C11D-16GAB
- Ripjaws X 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) F3-2400C11D-16GXM
I checked them in your product page and referencing the QVL tab, I couldn't find one compatible with the ASRock Z77 Extreme4 motherboard. They mostly only indicate compatibility with the ASRock Z77 OC Formula motherboard. Are they really incompatible with my board? If yes, what Memory RAMs can you recommend?
If in case 2400 MHz are not compatible, can I still use 2133 Mhz but OVERCLOCK it to 2400 Mhz? I found the ff. 2133 MHz RAM:
- Sniper 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) F3-2133C10D-16GSR
- Sniper 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) F3-2133C10Q-16GSR
- Ares 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) F3-2133C10D-16GAB
- Ares 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) F3-2133C10Q-32GAB
- RIpjaws Z 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) F3-2133C10Q-32GZM
- Ripjaws X 16 GB (2 x 8GB) F3-2133C11D-16GXL = Compatible... but can this overclock to 2400 MHz?
- Ripjaws X 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) F3-2133C11Q-32GXL = Compatible... but can this overclock to 2400 MHz?
Please help. By the way, my BIOS Version/Date indicates "American Megatrends Inc. P2.90 7/11/2013" and SMBIOS Version is 2.7. Thanks!
