Title: g1.sniper z87 memory recommendation
Post by: gerrard77777 on January 09, 2014, 10:32:48 am

Hi. I planning to buy this motherboard, but i'm very worried about memory compatibility. So many threads with complains. Can you recommending 2x8 gb memory, which is absolutely stable with g1.sniper z87? I prefer geil potenza/corsa/veloce because is inexpensive. Thanks in advance and sorry for my english, but hope to understand me, what i mean.

Most people that are having problems with the 87 boards use 4 sticks.

Just check the list they have on the Gigabyte site for that board.

You should be fine if you just using 2 sticks.

I check g1.sniper z87 compatibility list and only this model is compatible and 8gb per stick - GEIL 8GB GOC332GB2400C11AQC http://www.geil.com.tw/products/showSpec/id/328 . I can't buy 4 sticks. But i can buy one of this dual channel kit http://www.geil.com.tw/products/showSpec/id/337 . Are they is the same? And any problem, if running 1.65v? Thanks.

evo corsa in g1.sniper supporting list is cl11. Can I get cl9 or cl10? If cl11 is supported, is that mean cl9 and cl10 is too supported? Oh, my english is terrible, but hope to understand me.

So many complains in internet forums, related with z87 gigabyte boardс. I will try other brand - asus/asrock/msi. Thank you.

That was the best decision you could have made!
