I have a problem with RAM

[Edvinas]

I have a little problem. I have 2x2gb rams and i don't know how much they have mhz, cpuz shows that 667mhz so im confused. can you help me out what ram should i buy to match it with mines ? (1x4gb pref.)

Gigabyte dd3 Max brandwitdh (PC-3-10700)

Look at the memory tab. That will display what your RAM is running at.

 

[Edvinas]

it show 2000mhz frequency, but i pretty sure that it dont have that much and 2000mhz is kinda rare so...

 

[st2000]

effective 1333 mhz equals bandswitch 666-667mhz(which is shown), i'll advice to look for 1333mhz 4gb sticks
smthg like c9(cl9) prefered

It might be correct. Look in your bios and see what it's set at.

Thanks St2000, so http://www.skytech.lt/hx313c9f4-kin...mm-hyperx-fury-series-p-187948.html#tabsnav-1 this one is fine ?

im not a specialist in this sphere, what do you mean bios ?

http://www.skytech.lt/hx313c9f4-kin...mm-hyperx-fury-series-p-187948.html#tabsnav-1 is it fine ?

 

[st2000]

just take cheapest CL9 1333mhz 4Gb stick
thats all - it would be perfect for your PC

also, fill the specs http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/account/specs

Manufacturer dont mean anything right ? if i have kingston shouldnt i buy same manufacturer product ?

 

[st2000]

http://www.skytech.lt/hx313c9f4-kin...mm-hyperx-fury-series-p-187948.html#tabsnav-1 this one is fine ?

absolutely, there are no cheaper variants?

http://www.skytech.lt/ad3u1333w4g9s-adata-ddr31333-4gb-dimm-cl9-stray-p-132059.html this one maybe ?

 

[st2000]

shouldnt i buy same manufacturer product ?

it's not so necessary, if frequaency and timings are same(1333mhz and CL9) - no problem
to be 100% sure better look at your mobos spec(site or manual) - they have specialy tested ram that works 100% with your mobo

this one maybe ?

this will work too

 

[Edvinas]

this will work too

http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3533#ov thats my mobo so it should work fine with both of them the cheaper one and the higher price one ?

 

[st2000]

the cheaper one and the higher price one

about 95%

 

[Edvinas]

about 95%

so which you recommend to take ?

 

[RealNeil]

Take out one RAM stick and take a picture of it's label.
Post it here so we can read it and help you to buy something that matches what you already have.

That's where you go when you hit the "DEL" button before the computer boots.

hmmm....what you saw in 1st post? 667 frequency which means effective 1333mhz, timings are 9-9-9-24 - CL9 standart

so which you recommend to take ?

they are equal relating to specs, so buy what you want

 

[erocker]

That is the SPD table which shows nothing on what his RAM is currently running at.

sometimes F2

That is the SPD table which shows nothing on what his RAM is currently running at.

his memory and mobo supports this mode(and it's top), if you buy even 1866mhz stick - it will work fine even with 1066mhz sticks on 1066mhz - your memory downgrades with no matter of specs - if you buy a new one memory stick - it should be equal/higher with frequency to work together with your old ones

so which should i buy ?

 

[st2000]

so which should i buy ?

CL9 1333mhz, thats all - no matter with manufacturer
it's my opinion cause i built a lot PCs, may be i'm wrong with that - just my expirience and knowledge

 

[tanvirnabi]

I know how agonizing it is if the RAM responds bad. First you need to locate the exact problem. The problem might be related to frequent crashes, freezes, reboots, , blue screens of death. sometimes using a memory-intensive application or game causes problems in RAM. Whatever it is, it needs to be identified and then the solution would be its sequence by problem solver.

Don't buy 1333 RAM..that is 1600 RAM
What you have is Kingston HyperX Genesis DDR3 1600

memory modules are KHX1600C9AD3/2G.
