Can't Find Compatible Memory

[jimlau]

does anyone know of any RAM, 2x8GB, that has speed=>3000 and latency<=15?

I have the MSI Z170A Gaming M3 and Intel i7 6700K.

I checked MSI's site list, but it doesn't spell out latency nor if 2x8GB.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Found this on first try; not 2x8 but 4x4 (F4-3000C15Q-16GVR)

This kit is from the QVL F4-3000C15D-16GTZB https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231926

The latency is in the naming C15, the 16G means 16GB and to the right on the QVL it states they're 8GB modules https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z170A-GAMING-M3.html#support-mem




The QVL list isn't a full list of memory that'll work. 95% of DDR4 will work in that board

I found this 1 on there:
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C14D-16GVK (14-14-14-34 )

Is this what you have? On another board someone said to go with crucial or corsair. Is G Skill quality?

Also, is a CAS 15 (1/14th) slower than a similar CAS 14?

Thanks.

I've been using GSkill for years with no issues. Other brands as well, but GSkill has a good reputation.

More people who are regular participants on this forum use GSkill than any other brand. I wouldn't hesitate to say that.
