Motherboard RAM compatibility

Hello

 

I have an Msi x99a Gaming 7 Motherboard coupled with an i7 6800K, and the ram compatibility list is outdated. I want to install a ram kit HyperX Fury RGB 64GB DDR4-2666MHz (HX426C16FB3AK4/64). Right now pc is working fine with Kingston Savage ram that got replaced by predator and cannot expand memory with different sticks.

 

Will this cause problems with my motherboard? And if it causes, i believe that disabling xpm makes them work like normal ram so they will work either way. Am i right?

 

Thanks a lot

More than likely it just hasn't been updated on the motherboard manufacture's website, it's a 99% shot that it will work fine.

Ryzen 7 2700X ‣ ASUS X470 PRO ‣ 16GB 2400Mhz Crucial Ballistix ‣ SAPPHIRE RX 580 ‣ 970 EVO ‣ Dark Rock PRO 4 ‣ Dark Base PRO 900

You can just turn xmp on but make sure they have the cl latency just to be 100% sure that it'll boot

what do you mean by saying that they have the cl latency? To check that Cl Latency is what manufacturer gives me when i turn on xmp and not a different value?
