Re: A Memory Question

Where are you seeing a recommendation for a specific latency of memory? Is it just a different model of Corsair memory?

What is the model number of the memory you have, and the model of ASRock board you will be using? Is it the Z87 Extreme 4?

Re: A Memory Question

It's hard to say if it will work, because I don't see a Corsair CMX model in your board's memory support list. There are multiple Corsair CMD models listed.

The latency being different is not the issue with compatibility, since that can be easily set in the BIOS. I can't tell you if it will be compatible or not, but many times if a model of memory is not in the compatibility list, it might not work.
