Hello, you can view my computer specs in my signature. I wanted to find out if anyone has any input on whether I can mix the following RAM sticks, and if so, what settings should be modified.
I used to have in my computer OCZ Gold 6GB (3 X 2 GB) DDR3 SDRAM 1600
I have the following questions and thanks in advance for any help!
Thanks again!
I used to have in my computer OCZ Gold 6GB (3 X 2 GB) DDR3 SDRAM 1600
- Timing = 8-8-8-24 and 1.65V
- Timing 9-9-9-24 and 1.5V
- Placed in green triple channel slots
I have the following questions and thanks in advance for any help!
Can I go ahead and stick the 3 X 2GB OCZ sticks in the remaining three RAM slots I have?
- If so, would I set the timing for all RAM to the 9-9-9-24?
- Would I change the DIMM Voltage to 1.50V or 1.55V possibly?
- I didn't understand RAM enough when I purchased the new sticks. I thought higher timing numbers were better. Now that I know, am I losing much by going from the 6GB at 8-8-8-24 vs 12GB at 9-9-9-24?
- Does the additional 6GB of RAM make up for any timing loss?
- Finally, how can I verify that my triple channel DIMM slots are running the triple channel? I saw some post around some forum about a guy saying only dual channel was working for him because not enough voltage or something like that.
Thanks again!
