Hello all.

I am thinking about getting some new RAM for My ROG Maximus VI Hero mobo.
I have been looking at this 16GB kit HX318C9SRK2/16 which is a 2x8 kit.

Would it be compatible

Cheers for looking

Hello Nelson1971

That kit should work I've seen other people using the hyper x ram but it looks a little pricey.

You could get the trident x 2400MHz kit which is cheaper and is on the QVL list for your motherboard.

Hi Nate.

Thanks for the swift response and linky.

However, I am in the UK, and have looked on amazons uk website, and the trident kit is £30 dearer.

I have noted that it is a 2400mhz kit. Would it be worthwhile to purchase the trident kit compared to the Kingston kit considering
the £30 price difference ?

Your cpu can handle 2400MHz, if it's within your budget it would be worth it.

What is the price of a 2400MHz hyper x kit in the uk?
