Hi All,
I am in the middle of picking the parts for my system and I have gotten to the dreaded step of choosing my RAM. I am looking at G.Skill 16 GB (2x8) kits. Of particular interest to me are the following:
F4-3000C14D-16GVK (14-14-14-34)
or (debating price point)
F4-3200C14D-16GVK (14-14-14-34)
They aren't on the compatibility list, but I don't expect the list to contain every possible RAM stick out there. Looking at what is on there, I observed that low latency sticks (CL13, 14) generally have slower clock speeds (2133, 2400 MHz) and higher latency sticks (CL15, 16, 17) generally have higher clock speeds (3000, 3200 MHz). This is generally the trend with RAM, but the stuff I am looking at appears the have the best of both worlds.
My main question is, given the trends in the compatibility table, is it likely that the Classified K would have trouble with high clock, low latency ram. I know that it is impossible to verify this without testing, but maybe someone else on here is using RAM with similar specs? It would be nice if EVGA published a list of incompatible RAM.
Thanks!
