Is it Haswell compatible? Meaning, has anyone used this RAM in a system with the new 4th generation Intel i7 processor (like the i7-4770K on an ASUS Z87-Plus MoBo or similar) and had no problems?

I am using this ram with this processor, and no problems. I am getting ready to buy 16 GB more to bring my new system up to 32 GB. I am using on a Gigabyte Z87X-UD5H mobo.

Wish I knew for sure ! Email Corsair, I'm sure they will respond ! I really don't see why it wouldn't be compatible ! But then again next gen tech could pose a problem that may not be obvious on the surface ! Maybe Intel could answer as well,in fact probably a question better fielded by them ? Good luck

yea this memory is design for intel 3rd generation (ivy bridge lga 1155) and 4th generation (haswell lga 1150) in mind so it will work great in your motherboard, all you have to do is go to the bios and select the "xmp profile" and it will automatically detect the memory speed in this case 2133, timings (11-11-11-27) and voltage (1.5v).

I didn't try my i7-4770K on this machine. The ASUS spec. said it will support this i7-4770K and I checked the pins can fit into this MB. However, you might want to consider to use i7-3770 or (K) CPU instead since this MB is built with Intel Z77 Chip-set. And, i7-4770K should be best paired with Intel Z87 Chip-set to maximize the benefits of the new gen-4 i7 CPU. Another consideration is that this MB has 16GB RAM limitation due to its two-sockets for RAM. So, the i7-4770K CPU might be a bit wasted on this small MB in my opionion. For me, I use my i7-4770K CPU on my other ASUS Z87-A MB with 32GB RAM (DDR 2400) set-up. It was flying fast with many VMs for my purpose. Best luck and have fun.

running a locked cpu I believe that is correct. That is the situation I am in. If I put an unlocked pentium g3258 I think the ram would run at 1600 no problem. I also had to flash the board with an old haswell chip to support newer haswell refresh chips.

I used http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005O65JXI/ with this one, and seems to work fine this far. However, with my motherboard, http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Motherboard-Triple-Monitor-support-Windows/dp/B009L1EOKQ/ , it makes it impossible for you to install RAM in DDR3_4 slot (the one closer to CPU socket). Not a big deal for me, as I just added two 8GB modules for the 16GB I wanted, but is something you need to bear in mind (it looks like your board has more space there, but I am not sure). Also, you should consider this CPU instead: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-AD785KXBJABOX-3-7-Socket/dp/B00H7Z7YMI/ (I have been considering to sell mine CPU + motherboard to buy this one, and another motherboard that supports FM2+ socket).

Yes, it is compatible.- Dual Channel DDR3 memory technology- 2 x DDR3 DIMM slots- Supports DDR3 2600+(OC)/2133(OC)/1866(OC)/1600/1333/1066 non-ECC, un-buffered memoryAccording to manufacter, it can handle DDR3 RAM in 1600MHZ and a max amount of RAM of 8GB, so, according to manufacter specifications, it will work with no problem. According to the previous anwser, the list he metions was made when the Motherboard was new in the market, so probably this model of Kingston wasn't available at the time

Hey Paula, Yea these will work with the maximus vi formula. Just picked up that particular one from asus a few months ago with this exact RAM. I got two dimms as you see here which works just fine and performs great, but your cpu works even more efficiently if you get 4 sticks (4 x 4gb) instead since the motherboard is a dual-channel (in regards to the memory which means you can have either two sticks or four-the latter being better) one and therefore can have 4gb of ram allocated to each core of your processor. So, if you can go with 4. It's a little more expensive, but worth it in my opinion. Hey Paula, Yea these will work with the maximus vi formula.

I have Rampage IV Extreme X79 LGA Socket 2011, i7-3930k and Corsair Dominator Platinum 32 GB. They work perfectly together.I cannot say about "...rampage iv black w/i7xtreme?"

according to pcpartpicker dot com it is. This motherboard is built for overclocking so you would be happier with an ulocked chip but if you have an i7-3770 it would work per pcpartpicker dot com. I use this mobo with an i5-4670k and I am happy with it.

This Ram Was Not Tested By Intel for your Mother Board so I would Not Recommend Buying it because it may or may not work! your motherboard Supports only a Maximum of 8GB's Combined Ram so just these two sticks would max your memory out and it wont support any more so buying 16GB worth would be a waste of your money. the board supports only 1333Mhz native speed with an XMP Profile of 1600 but you would have to update your Bio's/UEFI on your Board before you can achieve the 1600Mhz Rated Speed. In short Terms your Motherboard is Too Dated for this Generation Ram the HyberBeast X Ram From Kingston is Designed for Current Generation Mother Board's. Your Mother Board is Dated back to 2008 and only a handful of Ram Chip's are Approved Tested By Intel for your Motherboard. Intel has a Complete list of Tested Supported Ram Here : http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dp45sg/sb/CS-029151.htm and you can also see your system Specifications here as well : http://ark.intel.com/products/34683/Intel-Desktop-Board-DP45SG?wapkw=intel+boxdp45sg Do Note again that your System only Supports up to 8GB of ram even though your board supports 4 ram Slots the system will only recognize 8GB Combined. I hope This Help's you in your Decision! Best of luck! P.s. I Would Recommend Not Buying The Ram and Actually Updating your Motherboard. Technology Leap's Every year to Newer level's especially in the last 2 years; and thing's just aren't as compatible with older Generation technology from 5 years ago, quite a lot has changed. For the Price of this Ram you can almost buy a New Mother Board that support's your CPU which is a LGA775 Socket for an Intel Processor. it would be much more Cost Effective to rebuild your System or Get a already prebuilt System From Newegg than to upgrade the one you have now! you would get Better Performance and would save you A lot of Out of Pocket $$$ in the long run if you are using this Computer for Design or Gaming. Happy Holiday's! Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

What idiot said " the few hundred that e8600 will cost you"? They're $40 on amazon & ebay all day long, and a great upgrade for older systems. That being said, it's probably not compatible with the motherboard of user who posted the original question. Also, There's no such thing as "5GHz RAM". You should google the specs of your particular motherboard to see if this chip is compatible (as a drop-in replacement for a P4), but most likely it is not. I would recommend looking for a faster P4 chip, as I recall they made them up to 3.8GHz and 2MB cache, with HyperThreading. That type of chip would probably be a good upgrade for your particular system. What idiot said " the few hundred that e8600 will cost you"?

All the Haswell CPUs should be compatible with all of the (whatever)87 motherboards. I'm using this one with an H87.

Are you confusing ddr3 RAM with the memory on the video card...? 'Probably no conflict there. Appears to be pci-e, so the two should be compatible. Z77 has advanced to at least Z87 now, and this mobo is a little flaky (sometimes failing to detect usb add-on cards and coming up without the drivers loaded). Onboard usb is flaky too. Get a newer board, unless you have a CPU only good for Z77.

which i7 chip do you have? if its the "4..." model most of them fit in this. why most. because some "4..." arent LGA 1150. which this mother board is.

I own this ram it is in a AsRock extreme9 motherboard. This ram will work in Intel motherboard with an Intel x79 chip set. The X79 motherboard will have the memory controller on the cpu. The ram will work in other motherboards as well you might try going over to the Corsair web site and running their motherboard/memory configurator that way you can be sure that the ram that you buy is the one that works with your board.

RAM compatibility is a function of the motherboard you choose, not the CPU. Read the specifications for the motherboard. That will tell you what RAM is designed to work with it. But in general, the rule regarding RAM is, "The more the better." I have this CPU (overclocked to 4.3Ghz) in an Asus Rampage IV Black motherboard with G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series (2133) memory (8MB x 8 for a total of 64GB). Even though it is rated at 2133, I can't keep a stable system above 1866. You are better off saving money on high-speed memory and using that money instead to make you system faster other ways, such as buying a much memory as the motherboard can handle, buying a solid-state drive for your primary drive, buying a more robust video card, upgrading your cooling so you can overclock the CPU higher, etc.
