Hey guys so I sent some of my old build back due to faulty and incompatible parts.
I now have the issue of buying RAM that is actually compatible with the rest of my build :/
The components I have at the moment are:
- Intel Core i5 4670K 3.40GHz Socket 1150 6MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor
- Toshiba 2tb 3.5 Int Sata 7200rpm Hdd
- Gigabyte GTX 760 OC Windforce 2GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Graphics Card
- Antec Case VSK-4000E Tower ATX Black
- OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W Modular PSU -135mm Fan
- Samsung SH-224DB 24X Internal DVD Writer with SATA - OEM
- Asus Maximus VI HERO Z87 Socket 1150 HDMI ATX Motherboard
- Crucial 120GB M500 SATA 6Gbps 2.5 SSD
- Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro rev 2 Socket 775, 1150, 1156, 1155, 1366, AM2, AM3 Heatpipe CPU Cooler
- TP-Link N600 Wireless Dual Band Pci Express Adapter
Could somebody help me find RAM that is compatible with all of that, previously I bought a Crucial Ballistix Sport 2 x 8GB (16GB) 1333 MHz RAM and sent it back because apparently it was incompatible with my old Mobo. (I sent my previous Mobo back also due to bent CPU pins, but it was this motherboard: Asus Z87-K Socket 1150 HDMI DVI D-Sub 8-Channel HD Audio ATX Motherboard).
I am looking for a 16GB RAM, whether that's 2 x 8GB or just 1 x 16GB I don't mind, however it does need to be compatible with the rest of my build.
I have tried searching for so long on what makes RAM compatible etc.. But I still have no idea. I've even used Gooeypc's Compatibility checker. But to be honest. I've got no idea what it was telling me.
I have been thinking about buying this RAM:
- Crucial 16GB DDR3 1600MHz Ballistix Sport Memory
But again I have no idea what makes it compatible or incompatible, so if there's anybody that could help me find 16GB RAM that will work with the rest of my build and maybe fill me in on what makes the RAM/Mobo incompatible, I'd be eternally grateful.
Thanks in advance
