Hey guys,
1st post and I hope I'm in the right section. I am planning on purchasing the Extreme4 P67 and my question was about memory compatibility. I need low profile ram 1600mhz speed cuz its gotta clear a notcua nh-d14. I looked on the Asrock site and most of the ram that I like is not on there. The only sticks I see that meet my criteria are Newegg.com - Kingston HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Desktop Memory Model KHX1600C9D3K2/8G but they are a little pricey and they lack XMP. It looks like Newegg.com - Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model KHX1600C9D3B1K2/8GX is the newer version of those sticks? It has XMP and is $39.99 after rebate, but it is not on the compatibility chart for the MB, but its model # is only a few digits off from the "supported" ram in the first link. Do you guys think I should bite and go for it? The trouble is I don't have all my components so I probably won't be able to test within my 30 day refund time period.
What are you guys running for low profile memory with this board?? I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks. CPU will be a 2600k if thats relevant.
