Different Memory Than Motherboard

[Kaigott]

Hello. I have recently been building a new computer for myself. System specs:

Motherboard: MSI X99a SLI Plus

CPU: Intel i7 5820k

 

I have been having some issues regarding the ram that I am thinking about purchasing. The memory type is Corsair CMK32GX4M2B3000C15. It is not on the official motherboard compatibility list. There are similar models but this one is not on the list. Will it still work??? Please Help!!!

Should work fine. The list is just tested sticks, not the only sticks that will work. They can't test every ram stick ever made.

If it is not on the list it isn't a big deal. Corsair is one of those brands it doesn't really matter the motherboard it is mostly compatible. But I can tell you it WILL work perfectly with that MOBO

How do you know it will work? X99 boards can be quite picky when it comes to ram that'll work

Because it meets the specifications of the board itself, and that I would give you my left leg if Corsair branded ram didn't work almost universally with mainstream MOBOs.
