corsair vengeance ram

Callum 101 · May 21, 2014

i have crucial 8gb ram and i am thinking of getting the corsair ram. can i use booth of them at the same time or will i have to take one out?

chris987 · May 21, 2014

what are your specs?
if you have 4x ram slots and 2x4gb then get another 2x4gb kit with the same specs(MHz - CL - V) for best compatabilty.
if you have 1x8gb get another 8gb ram stick of the same specs.

You may use them at the same time ... they will 'dumb-down' to the slowest speed & timings

i have the gigabyte 78lmt-usb3 motherbaord and 1 x 8 gb allrady in their

amd fx 6300 at 3.6ghz and an msi radeon hd 7750 2 gb

Callum 101 :

if you cant find the exact same 8gb module you valready have you can buy any other brand. try to find same specs.
also you need another 1x8gb in order to run in dual channel mode.apart from the increased capacity you will have a boost in performance too!

Mixing DRAM from different packages, may or may not work, there's never a guarantee - even with the same exact sticks. If you try and have problems give me a shout and we can try adjusting timings and/or voltages which often will get them to play nice

hanks for the support guys

Callum 101 :

any time... you are welcome!

Callum 101 · May 21, 2014

i have 1 last question. is their any way to find out the current mhz of the ram i have in their without any downloads?

Callum 101 · May 21, 2014

chris987 · May 21, 2014

Callum 101 :

get into bios to retrieve your current running, ram specs!

CPUz

It will also provide JEDEC timings ('SPD') at each speed grade for your RAM(s).

Depends on which Vengeance and which Ripjaws (they have RJs, RJ X and RJ Z)...but with most any, if talking same freq and same basic timings, I'll generally go GSkill, overall with most of their models they tend to have more OC headroom which is indicative of stronger ICs on the given sticks

Of those two, I prefer GSkill sticks, but in this case would go with the Corsair, it has the tighter CL9 vs CL10 - But (there's always a but), rather than go single stick for 8 GB, I'd suggest 2x4GB so you can utilize dual channel and the performance increase it provides (unless of course only have a single slot

Callum 101 · May 21, 2014

i have 4 slots that can hold 32gb of ddr3 ram. can i use any slot or will i have to use the black ones over the blue or the other way around??

Callum 101 · May 21, 2014

sorry the grey over the black ??

Tradesman1 · May 21, 2014

Yes the NTs are their value line and have been around a long time, the fact that they are still around lets you know something of the high quality even the value line has...if they were crap sticks like many of the basic/value type sticks they never would have lasted

have used a lot of those for upgrades

Tradesman1 · May 21, 2014

How do things run currently? 8GB is often enough for many if not most folks...if you see lots of blinking of the Harddrive LED when you are say, browsing the web, that can mean you have a lot reads/writes to the page file and it's an indicator you may need more DRAM, out of memory error messages, things like that

Callum 101 · May 21, 2014

i have 1x 8gb crucial and i not had any blinking i feel it performs ok but i would like a 16gb in total. i carnt upgrade strate to 16gb because i have other things i need to do aswell.

Tradesman1 · May 21, 2014

Well can wait or go ahead and try adding sticks, if their are problems, give me a yell, no guarantees, but I can generally get similar sticks to play nice

Tradesman1 · May 21, 2014

What are the actual model #s of the sticks?

Callum 101 · May 22, 2014

coz im new would it be better for me to just get the one stick and keep the other for when im reading to start playing around with things

Tradesman1 · May 22, 2014

That or if you can provide the model numbers we can try some easy voltage/timing adjustments that may well get them purring
