Just because it isn't on ASUS' list for tested RAM doesn't mean it is incompatible. Changing RAM will probably not change anything about your CPUs abilty to overclock.

 

Also please follow your own topic.

Hi All,

 

I just found out that my seller gave me RAM (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10) which is not compatible with my Asus Maximus VI Hero. I have an 4770k, I was trying to find a stable o.c. from april, but i could never hit more than 4.54ghz (1.35+ Vcore)

I thought I really had a bad cpu until i just checked my ram package, and found that the model is not what i asked for. I am a peace loving man, so i don't want to go and burn down the p.c. store, what i really want to know is that how far does wrong Ram affect stability, i just want to know how good my processor is :wub:

 

Also, Since you have come this far, Please suggest best RAM for my build. I play games and also does content creation (video editing,aftr fx and photoshop etc...) 

looking for the best price-to-performance. you can also suggest over-kill if you feel like. 

 

*Specs (not mentioned)

 

Asus GTX 780ti (reference)

Corsair AX860 

Corsair Neutron GTX 240 GB SSD + WD Black (1 TB) + WD Green (2TB)

Swiftech H320 cpu cooler

 

Thanks

even if it is not the model you ordered it should still be compatible with your motherboard.

well if you were able to reach 4.5ghz with "incompatible" ram ,its most likely not the rams fault that you arent able to push further.
