I'm looking to get more RAM. I can't find the chip I bought originally or anything that's exactly the same. I would just buy all new RAM, but I'm a poor college student so that's really not ideal.
The ram I currently have installed linked here. It has the following specs:
- DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
- 9-9-9
- Cas Latency 0
- 1.6V
My mobo won't run RAM at this speed, it's actually running at 1333 (CPU-Z shows it at 667MHz). I can't find anything that matches frequency, timing, latency, and voltage, but I can find ones that match everything but are 1.5V or 1.65V, such as this or this.
Would either of these chips work with what I have now? Will the fact that my mobo underclocks 1600MHz RAM affect what I purchase? If I have to try to mix and match, what is the least important spec to have matching?
Thank you for your help.
