Simple enough: Both sticks of RAM in my ASUS P8P67 Deluxe motherboard have independently failed on me. One's had issues for a while, and it looks like the second just went. The old RAM was standard 1333 MHz @ 9/9/9/24 timings, and frankly, was overdue for an upgrade anyway.
Since I only plan to keep the system around another year or two, I upgraded on the cheap to:
http://www.amazon.com/G-Skill-PC3-12800-1600MHz-9-9-9-24-F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL/dp/B00339X1EM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1463446968&sr=8-1&keywords=F3-12800CL8D-8GBECO
And yes, I checked the RAM is compatible before purchasing.
Anyways, since it's been ages since I've done this, is the BIOS (or UEFI) going to automatically detect the new RAM, or am I going to have to enter the timings manually? Any pitfalls to be aware of?
That's pretty much it. Told you it was simple.
