If it fits in the slot, it's supposed to work, if it does not work, it's faulty and gets returned.

Although I've heard of very rare cases where memory that is supposed to work doesn't, I have never come across any such situation myself.
Thanks for taking the time to help with suggestions. I think I'm gonna go with the i5 4690k which as you know is the better/best i5 and will also go with the asrock H81M-GL which comes in at half a pint over 200 quid. That I can live with
