For memory compatibility, please check out the support page for your motherboard and check the memory support page

Hopefully this helps!

Well the part number is ok but the version of the ram and the speeds are not.. and on task manager show the clock speed at 4800mhz, on Hwinfo64 the speed is 2800mhz, armory crate speed is 4000mhz and on bios 4800mhz..i am really confused but also desperate!.

Looks like you haven't enabled XMP in the BIOS (choose XMP1 as this is QVL'ed). Without enabling XMP, your RAM is running at its base rating of 4800MT/s.

I did enable the XMP 1 in the Bios but how do i know that is working fine and stable? all the tests and information shows different numbers. 😞

Some software halves the data rate. For instance if the memory kit's XMP profile is 5600MHz, often it can display as 2800MHz.

Thank you all for you time!! A lot of people told me the same that ram speed some softwares halve them. So the ram its compatible 100%.

If the part number is supported, your memory should be supported.

Could you share your part number and speed?
