Hello, I make my new build with 6700K, gtx1070 and I want the Asrock z170 extreme 6 (I hesitated with Gigabyte z170x Ultra gaming but I don't like LEDs on MB even if I can disable them and audio is apparently better on Asrock)
I read a lot about "not very good" ram compatibility with the z170 motherboards in general. And now for the Asrock I hesitate on 2 RAMs, I can only buy one of these two and I'm afraid they're not fully compatibles with the Asrock. I checked QVL and they are not on the list but where I live all ram I can buy aren't on the QVL.. I know the QVL is maybe outdated and not complete and this is why I make this subjet, if you can help me and tell me if you think they're compatible or not with my motherboard.
Here the QVL Asrock ASRock > Z170 Extreme6
The first ram, I want to buy these for now :
"F4-2800C15D-16GVRB" G.skill ripjaws 2800Mhz CAS 15 2x8gb http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-2800c15d-16gvrb
You can see on their QVL they're compatible with almost all Z170 motherboards but nothing about any Asrock z170, but why is that they will not be compatible ? Maybe they are but not tested ?
The other ram is :
"CMK16GX4M2A2400C14" Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400Mhz CAS 14 2x8gb Vengeance(R) LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz C14 Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2A2400C14)
Here again, not on the QVL but they're almost the same as other one on the QVL.
So do you think I can buy the G.skill without problem ? If not, can I buy the Corsair ? Thanks for your time.
