Need a little help on memory compatibility.

I have this MB:

And I have 2 x 4GB of these memory modules:

I want to get another 8GB of memory and I have a chance to buy two of these at a good price:

Will this work?

Kingstons website has a memory compatibility thing on it. Select your motherboard, then get the correct part and go shopping.

Thanks. But after checking what memory to use for my MB, I can't even find the ones that I'm using right now. In fact, there were no CL9 modules at all in the list of compatible HyperX modules.

I still have no clue if that module will work or not.

I am sure they will, imho crucial is the other place i would check. Though I am sure the memory would all operate at cl10 with the kingston stuff. I use too keep up on that stuff more.... good luck

I ended up buying the modules. I hope they will work

Well, It's seems that I'm a very big idiot. How the hell did I miss that the modules are completely different in size? I guess the ones I bought are for laptops. Well, well.

Well that is why I recommended the kingston compat checker to get the correct part number first, then shop. [emoji14]

Yeah, but I wasn't really interested in going shopping. I just had an opportunity to get those  modules at a good price and I took a chance.
