Memory RAM Upgrade

Ridiche Salatoi · May 16, 2017

Hi. My PC consists of:
Asus P8B75-V
I5 3350P 3.1 GHZ
Sapphire HD 7850 2GB
SeaSonic S12II 620W
1TB WD Blue + Samsung 850 EVO 240GB SSD
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB 1600, CL 9-9-9-24.
I want to buy another 2x4GB of Ram(the exact same model).
I was wondering if by occupying all the 4 slots available on the motherboard will put more stress on the memory controller. I must mention that at this moment the frequency my ram is working at is 1333(XMP) because changing the value to 1600 results into the motherboard giving me an overclock error message (this being the main reason why I'm asking if the mobo. would support 4x4GB). And if it is fine, would I have to change the latency or the voltage values? Thank you very much!

Looking at the motherboard's specifications, it says it can OC RAM up to 2200MHz. But, it also specifies that only 3rd generation Core i3/i5/i7/Pentium/Celeron processors, so a Pentium/Celeron 2XXX, i3/i5/i7 2XXX won't support anything above 1333MHz.

You shouldn't have to worry about latency or stress on the memory controller, the board was made to support high-clocked DDR3 (unbuffered, non-ECC) in dual/quad channel configuration, with up to 32GB. I suspect it's just because you have a 2nd generation processor.

My CPU is a core I5 3350p, which is a processor from the third generation if I'm not mistaken. So... I don't know why is doing this. But it only happened after I moved my PC into another case... (before that it was running fine at 1600...)

Hm. You said you had it in XMP? Have you altered the voltage in any way besides the profile?

No. I haven't changed any other value other than the frequency itself. (to 1333 to get rid of the error).

Is the memory ECC/buffered?

For what I know I think they are unbuffered non-ECC

Also, will I encounter any problems if I would buy a kit of 2x8GB Kingston Hyperx Savage 1600 CL 9, by changing both memory sticks in the computer? Or should I buy the original HyperX version? Thanks.

That is purely preference, and you wouldn't have issues as long as you didn't combine the two kits on the same board.
