Yesterday I bought 2x4 Corsair RAM for $38.99. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145345
However this morning I came across this memory sticks http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...scrollFullInfo
Which Specify that they are made for the Z77 and they are at a higher speed. I'm wondering if I got the wrong type of Memory for my Mobo? Mobo is Asus P8Z77 V-LK

I can still cancel the order before its processed but I don't know enough about the difference between the two ram sticks, so I'm hoping I can get a couple quick replies? As long as they work properly I can dealt with it, I just don't want to have to RMA as soon as it gets here just because they are not compatible.

The ones you got on sale will run fine. It's XMP supported.
Thank you! So I'm just learning and I found else where as well that I do in fact have to activate XMP in BIOS because they are not recognized at 1600 when you first plug them in. I have never done this :( much less OC a CPU. I have the P8Z77 V-LK can anyone explain how to do this? Hope is not complicated.
