Works with Corsair Dominator Platinum!
5 Stars
Works with Corsair Dominator Platinum!
I have two sticks of Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133 DDR3 dual channel currently and i wanted to add some more ram. I bought a these (8GB kit Viper) installed on a Asus Z87 Pro MB with a i7-4770k at 4.5GhzAt first i got a windows boot error; realized my mistake one of the Ram slots was not clicked into place on the bottom (tight space; first slot next to my CPU water pump) once fixed i tested both sticks and they loaded windows without issues.I added my Denominators back in and everything works without issues.Speeds Dominator is much faster (2133) but i had to sacrifice a small speed bump for 8 more GB for less than 35 dollars.Glad i bought these! If you get windows repair popup reseat your Ram sticks and install and load windows one at a time until all are installed and running.Now time to overclock! 😃😃😃 screenshots are prior to OC
