    It says it is out of stock.

    Here is a list of current Gigabyte Z77 motherboards:
    GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Intel Z77

    Pick any motherboard, go to it's page, click on "CPU, Memory Support & Downloads" (at the top), click "Memory Support List", and download the list of supported RAM to check.

    Ok I just checked the mobo memory compatibily list and my ram is not listed there. There are very close models but not exactly the same numbers. The person who lend it to me told me that the compatibility posibilities are very high.. So I am going to test.. Any thoughts are welcome

    Thanks

    The Brand and exact model numbers are not entirely important. You can improvise.

    There are 2 specs you MUST meet:
    Ram Type: DDR3
    RAM voltage: 1.5v works in most Intel i series boards, 1.65v works in many. Check the specs of the approved RAM on the list.

    There are 2 specs you can have some slack on:
    Timings: any of the timings of the RAM on the list will work, but all modules should be the same timings.
    Speed: Any of the RAM speeds listed will work at their listed timings.

    Thank you.
    I was actually not thinking about messing with timings or speed in BIOS.
    If I choose Optimize Settings in BIOS,
    wouldn't that work?

    Thanks

    Sorry I dont know nothing about memory configurations

    Hello. I installed the mobo and eveything went fine. It booted to my previous windows installation. That was incredible, I did not do anything.
    I guess all I have todo now is install the new mobo drivers. Should I uninstall the previous mobo drivers before installing the newer ones?

    Thanks people. You've been very helpfull.

    You said that someone lent the motherboard to you. Are you going to keep it?
    Yes: then replace the drivers if there are newer or different ones (check the version numbers and dates)
    No: then complete your test and then decide if you need to buy a new motherboard.

    How should I replace drivers? Going to device manager and updating those devices with the yellow interrogation symbol?
    Should I install over or uninstall the old and install the new ones?
    How can I get rid of all the old mobo' s drivers so no conflics arise?

    Thanks and sorry for maybe asking stupid questions.

    Whenever I modify/upgrade a device in my desktop, I just perform a clean install.
    Because removing the old drivers and installing the new ones is quite a hassle.

    Besides, a clean install ensures that everything will work fine, no old and new drivers
    left-over conflicts.

    If you can't perform a clean install, just boot to safe mode and uninstall all the drivers with exclamation marks.

    If you can't perform a clean install, just uninstall all the drivers with exclamation marks, perform a registry clean, clear all the temporary files. You could use CCleaner for that.
    Then install the drivers for new hardware.
