QVL for Asrock mobo?

[thestrangebrew1]

My stepson has the following mobo:

and an AMD Phenom II x6 1055t cpu.

One of his ram sticks died and I'm looking to replace them with 8gb (he had 2*2gb for a total of 4 gbs previously). Looking at the qvl for this mobo, there aren't alot of options for 2*4gb sticks, and the qvl is pretty old (I'm assuming based on the hardware). How important is it to follow the qvl or can I just order whatever RAM and keep my fingers crossed? TIA.

I have never bought RAM from the QVL and I've never had an issue. As long as you match the speed and voltage to the specs then it should be fine.
