Hi All

I currently have 16 gigs of memory and I want to upgrade to 32 gigs, I have an Asrock Z370 Taichi Coffe lake board. paired with an 8700K and 1080TI. I'm thinking about taking the current 2 x 8 GB sticks out and swapping them for 2 x 16 GB

I've seen this set https://www.amazon.co.uk/CORSAIR-VE...ters&sprefix=Corsair+32gb,computers,74&sr=1-3

It's not on the Motherboard QVL list though https://www.asrock.com/mb/intel/Z370 Taichi/index.asp#Memory


Do you think it will work?

Also, I have a Noctua NH-D15, will I have to remove this to install the memory?

Just make sure your running the latest bios and you should be gtg. Those are low profile modules so they will fit under your hs. At worst you may need to pull the front fan off to install the forward facing module. They will slot into the same spots as your current memory so you will be able to answer that better than I ;)
 
Do you OC the CPU? as buying faster RAM and tweaking it could get you more CPU performance in some programs than overclocking the CPU does.
But if your just need a little more RAM for some programs not extra CPU performace then a cheaper kit like that makes sense with DDR4 being end of line.

I have it set to all cores at 4.7 GHZ but that's about it, in the past I have OC'd all my pc's but they didn't run as hot as this one. Do you have any memory suggestions?
