this is problably a stupid question but it seems like its only compatible with 1600 ram will 1866 work just as good?

Yes, 1866 is the default RAM supported and will default to that speed with 1866 RAM. Others up to 3000 will have to have XMP enabled or manually adjusted in BIOS.

My suggestion is to go to the merchandiser Crucial Ram.They have a program which analyses your computer and will tell you what types of RAM are compatible. In general though my rule of thumb is that if it fits properly in the slot it will work (ie the computer will recognize the extra RAM)but that doesn't mean if your run a benchmark test before and after the installation that it will speed your computer up. The computer will default to the speed of the slower RAM.

Get whatever's validated by Asus to use on the board. If you can afford 2400 and don't mind the marginal performance difference over 1600 (do you really need 2400?), then get 2400. I'm just fine with 1600 until I upgrade my system to a new socket and ddr4.

Yes this RAM is compatible with your motherboard/chipset. This RAM is fast at stock speeds and allows plenty of overclocking headroom. I've been using Corsair RAM and Solid State Drives exclusively in all of my custom builds. While I can't say I've used every 1600MHz module on the market, I can say that I trust Corsair to make a good, durable product.

Please go to Crucial.com and install their tool. They will tell you what ram to use. It is a free utility, and does a wonderful and correct job. It has never given me the incorrect information. This is where everyone should start to select the correct ram. All I did, was gave a critical review of the ram I installed, at the recommendation of this utility. You can't go wrong.

It has 4 slots so you should be good. I'm running 2x4gb of 1866. It runs at 1600 but I'm told I can change that in the bios easily.

I am using this ram with this processor, and no problems. I am getting ready to buy 16 GB more to bring my new system up to 32 GB. I am using on a Gigabyte Z87X-UD5H mobo.

looks doubtful. have you used the RAM tool at Crucial to ensure that you have the right RAM spec. I would suggest you use that tool and then decide.

You can run faster memory (1600) in a slower bus speed (1066) without a problem - you'll just be spending more for capability that you can't use. That being said, I usually do buy faster memory so that I can take it with me if I ever upgrade to a faster computer and not have to buy it all over again.

No not really, but the MOBO works great with my 8 gigs of Corsair Vengence ram at 1866. It also depends on the performance you are trying to reach

Yes, it is compatible. - Dual Channel DDR3 memory technology - 2 x DDR3 DIMM slots - Supports DDR3 2600+(OC)/2133(OC)/1866(OC)/1600/1333/1066 non-ECC, un-buffered memory According to manufacter, it can handle DDR3 RAM in 1600MHZ and a max amount of RAM of 8GB, so, according to manufacter specifications, it will work with no problem. According to the previous anwser, the list he metions was made when the Motherboard was new in the market, so probably this model of Kingston wasn't available at the time

yes, it is compatible with 1600 mhz ram. When you first install the ram, it will clock it down to 1333mhz, i had mine running at 1866mhz after some OC.

go to crucial.com and run scan. will tell u what ram will work on your system

This Ram Was Not Tested By Intel for your Mother Board so I would Not Recommend Buying it because it may or may not work! your motherboard Supports only a Maximum of 8GB's Combined Ram so just these two sticks would max your memory out and it wont support any more so buying 16GB worth would be a waste of your money. the board supports only 1333Mhz native speed with an XMP Profile of 1600 but you would have to update your Bio's/UEFI on your Board before you can achieve the 1600Mhz Rated Speed. In short Terms your Motherboard is Too Dated for this Generation Ram the HyberBeast X Ram From Kingston is Designed for Current Generation Mother Board's. Your Mother Board is Dated back to 2008 and only a handful of Ram Chip's are Approved Tested By Intel for your Motherboard. Intel has a Complete list of Tested Supported Ram Here : http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dp45sg/sb/CS-029151.htm and you can also see your system Specifications here as well : http://ark.intel.com/products/34683/Intel-Desktop-Board-DP45SG?wapkw=intel+boxdp45sg Do Note again that your System only Supports up to 8GB of ram even though your board supports 4 ram Slots the system will only recognize 8GB Combined. I hope This Help's you in your Decision! Best of luck! P.s. I Would Recommend Not Buying The Ram and Actually Updating your Motherboard. Technology Leap's Every year to Newer level's especially in the last 2 years; and thing's just aren't as compatible with older Generation technology from 5 years ago, quite a lot has changed. For the Price of this Ram you can almost buy a New Mother Board that support's your CPU which is a LGA775 Socket for an Intel Processor. it would be much more Cost Effective to rebuild your System or Get a already prebuilt System From Newegg than to upgrade the one you have now! you would get Better Performance and would save you A lot of Out of Pocket $$$ in the long run if you are using this Computer for Design or Gaming. Happy Holiday's! Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

You can replace one of the two sticks of 2 GB of RAM, which means you will have 6 GB. Before you proceed with this configuration, I recommend you confirm both RAM sticks (new and old) are the same speed (1600MHz).

I am not quite sure about this question, I'll answer it the best I can.I used Patriot brand, 1600mhz 16gb, bought it at local computer store for about $150.00. I wanted to make sure I had enough ram for any future needs.Now, to my understanding you cam use 1866 mhz without over clocking, I went for a more stable system for my rig.

Go to crucial.com, follow the instructions and put in your pc model number. They will tell you which ram is compatible with your pc. Then order the ram from Amazon. I have never found crucial to be wrong.
