Need help with RAM

Adam002antal · Oct 9, 2016

Hey guys can you help me? I want to get a hyperx fury blue 1600 2x4 GB RAM ddr3 , will it work with my asrock n68c-s ucc ? I currently have a g,
.skill sniper 4gb none of them are listed on the comp page yet the g skill one works , also the max RAM is 8 so I think it will work , also if it will work should I dual channel? Or just 1x8 GB ? Thanks in advance

What are you talking about?

"none of them are listed on the comp page".
It will work in dual channel automatically if two sticks are plugged in, but make sure that if you're using more than one RAM stick that they are the same capacity and model due to compatibility issues with mixing.
Single channel will not be much different in terms of performance, not worth considering.
Go for the 1x8GB stick and remove the old G.Skill stick.

My mistake I mean " compatible page " there is a compatible page that lists the compatible RAM for the motherboard but the hyperx is not listed but neither the one that I am using now and I was afraid it will not work

First there are no guarantees when mixing DRAM and using the Fury may be problematic, the mobo came out in 2010 and not sure if even compatible with the Fury which operate off PnP which wasn't in the older mobos

Isn't pretty much the only difference with PnP that it's more likely to just default to it's rated speed?
I'm assuming so long as the motherboard supports that frequency it should be perfectly fine.

I also was thinking on getting only 1 stick and mix it with the g skill I they are the same speed only cl is different I think , or should I just buy 2 sticks?

PnP tries to set itself up automatically to the fastest speed it can run - the BIOS sees the PnP and tries to go with that - XMP uses a different style profile so the two can conflict

Ah, noted.

I supposed disabling XMP wouldn't be too much of a hassle, but then again you're playing it risky by doing so. :/
Is there any way to disable PnP or is it a hardware side thing?

Yeah I read more that mixing is not the greatest ideea , anyway can you recommend me some RAM? I saw some kingstones anyway I want something under 50$ also my motherboard goes by Max 8 GB with 1600 and I need 2x4 not 1x8 , just give some names and I try to find them in my country also is Kingston good?

Some models to look out for are as follows, they are all very good quality kits, just choose whichever is cheapest, making sure to take into account RAM height if your cooler extends over the slots.
Corsair Vengeance series
G.Skill Ripjaws X
Kingston HyperX Fury

The I found the vengeance corsair I will try them and hope they work
