Sirs, I'm kinda out of the loop na about computers in general I need your help ky murag need nako mag add ug memory sa akong outdated rig to meet the demands of my work.

Naa pa ba ta mapalit nga GSkill DDR-1600 4GBx2 karon diri sa Pinas preferably diri sa Cebu?

Akong mobo is the Asrock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3... currently running with 8GB memory.

Mao ni exactly ako gipangita:



TIA!

Ok ra ba isagul ang F3-12800CL7D-8GBXH ug F3-12800CL7D-8GBXM without running into issues? Naa sa manual sa motherboard, "use identical" cards on all slots.

If you run it at JEDEC speeds, DDR3-1333, ok ra but you can't use the XMP profile on these kits. Lain lain sila ug timings and voltage settings.

Salamat @poldopunk. Basically I just want it plug and play and not having to worry of my system to restart intermittently or not boot at all because of issues. I only need to have extra memory. No time na ko to fiddle around with the settings and all.


Mao ni reply sa GSkill support:

"There is no guarantee when attempting separate kits of RAM. They are also different models so it is not the best chance. "

What do you think?

It will run at JEDEC speeds na built-in profile sa imong RAM via SPD (serial presence detect). JEDEC is the electronics standard, this is the governing body that sets standard memory speeds among others. Have a look at my SPD profiles below:



The last column is XMP, Extreme Memory Profile. This is an Intel technology that allows you to easily increase the memory speed and lower timings than the JEDEC standards without having to do trial-and-error method of overclocking.

Imong duha ka memory kits, have different XMP settings; voltage, & latency (timing) and they will conflict because XMP applies to all the memory channels plugged in. However, you can still run both kits at the highest JEDEC speed available since it is a standard.
