I had 2x4 gb DDR3 1600 MHz 1.5v . One of the sticks died so I bought another 4gb DDR3 1600MHZ 1.5v. I just realized my old rams timing was 9-9-9-24 and the new one I bought is 11-11-11-28. Will it work on my pc? Is there any settings in the bios I need to change or will it not work at all.

Thanks

Hello,

You must modify the timings in BIOS, using the new memory timings for both DIMMs (CAS:11; tRCD:-11; TRP:-11; tRAS:-28).

If you cannot modify the timings, put the newer memory in the first slot, the motherboard should use the newer timings for the older RAM also (in this case, be sure the RAM timings is set to AUTO in BIOS).
