I currently have an ASUS x99-A motherboard. I bought some RAM thinking it would fit but, it turns out it isn't compatible. So, I went online to find the supported RAM here ( https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/X99A/HelpDesk_QVL/ ) and have also been using the 'find it' tool on New Eggs website. The issue I am having is that some of the RAM listed on the find it tool is not on the support RAM list.
So, I tried using the pcpartpicker website and I am having the same issue. In fact, PC part picker shows the ram I had originally bought as compatible (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16).
My questions
- Is the supported list of RAM on newegg incorrect and I should be using only what is on the ASUS website?
- I currently have 2 8g sticks in there (BLS8G4D240FSA.16FAR), do I have to match these?
SPECS:
ASUS X99-A
Intel 17-5820K CPU 3.3 GHz, 3301 Mhz, 6 CORE
Windows 10
