I don't know if this should be in the memory or mobo section but... long story short my current PC is having issues and I'm slowly replacing parts trying to fix it (it's either the video card or mobo at this point, but I've fan FurMark and had no issues).
Anyways, bought a new board. Sticking with a Z68 because they're great and it's what I currently have and I don't feel the features of newer are really worth getting into. Anyways this is my motherboard enroute: http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=Z68 Extreme4 Gen3
I'm mostly certain my RAM is fine, however it is slightly older and two different dual channel brands, and I haven't had problems until recently. So the question is, while this isn't listed as officially supported, shouldn't it work fine with this board? I can't see why not

http://www.corsair.com/us/vengeance-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz8gx3m2a1866c9.html says its supported and its basically the same thing, just 8GB and I want more than 8. Mostly I'm looking at this specifically due to an upcoming sale.
Thoughts? Opinions?
Thanks in advance.
