Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2 - that will be ram compatible?

[litwicki24]

Hello. I just planning to buy mobo for socket 1150 Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2. But i have that rams:
Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 2x4GB 1600MHz, DDR3, CL(9-9-9-24), XMP White (CML8GX3M2A1600C9W)

http://www.morele.net/pamiec-corsai...-9-9-9-24-xmp-white-cml8gx3m2a1600c9w-419635/

I just checked on Asus site of mobo Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2 compatibility list and i find:

CML8GX3M2A1600C9 (on support lists there are only rams with 1,5v or 1,65v )

But my rams are CML8GX3M2A1600C9W <-- W is WHITE with 1.35V .So i ask. My rams with 1.35v will be compatible too?

Yes, your RAM will be compatible.

Just choose the XMP in BIOS when you get the RAM in the board.

The ram list just means what they TESTED. If it is not on the list, that does not mean they won't work, just that it wasn't tested. 99% of the proper type of ram (DDR3, voltage, etc) will work just fine. Lower voltage does not matter.

Yes, your RAM will be compatible.

Just choose the XMP in BIOS when you get the RAM in the board.

Or maybe that will be automatically in XMP ? Or i must change?

I had the same concern with my 32GB 1.35v Crucial set being installed in my Asus Gene VI & like RCoon said choose XMP & it will work great.

But without choose XMP it will not work?

It probably will work, and automatically set it, but it's always nice to manually set XMP anyway.

It should boot to whatever the JEDEC speeds are on the sticks. In order to set the proper values, use the XMP setting on your motherboard.

Not setting XMP will potentially net you less than ideal memory speed settings so XMP ensures the "best" known timings will be enabled to get the "best" possible performance without the process of overclocking RAM which IMO is rather complex & tedious relative to the real world performance gain.
