It's generally the case that any DDR3 ram should work in any DDR3 motherboard but the only way to be absolutely certain is to find someone with an identical setup. If you want to play it safe go to someone like crucial and use their memory selector to choose the RAM to match your motherboard. According to corsair this is what's supposed to work with that motherboard http://www.corsair.com/configurator/product%5Fresults.aspx?id=178902 | |||

The problem I has with my Asus motheboard was that the voltage supplied to the RAM was lower than the one needed by the RAM, thus limiting the frequency at which they operated. A subsequent BIOS update fixed that, but it took almost a year for them to come up with the update. Maybe that's why the list is that short. Your RAM might work, but they might not perform as expected. Your best bet is to ask Asus support about this issue or post a question on the Asus forums; that's usually the best place for information. Also, check to see if there are any BIOS updates; they usually fix a lot of problems. | |||
