Hello forum members
I need some help, here are the relavent specs first:
AROCK Z68 PRO 3 (mb)
SANDY BRIDGE i5-2500 (cpu)
the thing is I have a ram stick of this kind:
1X4GB kingston ddr3 1600MHz CL9
http://www.kingston.com/en/memory/search/Default.aspx?DisPartId=KHX1600C9D3B1/4G
I wanted to know why does the latency is wrote that way ("cl9")
and not like how other manufacturers mention it? i.e "9-9-9-24-2N"
I am asking this because I wanted to expand the ram to 2X4GB
and I realized that to do that I need to match:
MHz
Voltage
Cl
and non mandatory brand match
so I got confused when I couldnt match the cl of my existing ram.
