madnoh · Nov 17, 2015

Hi Guys,

Need help to double confirm .. if i can add one more ram as below

http://www.lelong.com.my/kingston-r...f-8-blue-castleit-K1709037-2007-01-Sale-I.htm

and may i know if my motherboard can support up to 16gb 1866mhz

tq in advance

for sure. Th 1866 support will come from the IMC on the CPU, and the board will support 16GB easily. Check the motherboard manufacturer compatibility listing to be totally certain the brand of RAM will work.

Many additional brands will work, but have not been tested to make their list, so you'd be on your own if not on the list.

i could not be more explicit than that, except by citing a personal experience

on my Z170X Gaming 5 mobo i initialy got a 4x4 2666mhz C15 kit from Kingston (HyperX Fury) but it was compatible only on 2x4 and not 4x4, luckily since my retailer took the responsibility about the package, they proposed me to swap the kit for another, 4x4 2800mhz C14 kit also from Kingston (HyperX Predator), after checking the compatibility list, indeed my 1st kit was only "2 stick compatible" while the new one is "4 stick compatible" (tho i was also lucky to get a 2800mhz C14 in replacement of a 2666mhz C15 for no cost added, but that's another story )

I am running the Z97X Gaming 7 with 16 gigs of 1866Mhz ram, no problems at all.
