Hey guys I made a bit of a mistake in a rush last night when I order some stuff for a new PC build. I was actually planning on using my DDR2 ram I had already in my new build but ended up buying a Motherboard that was socket AM3 only so need to buy new ram for it.
The MB is the ASUS M4A79XTD
I was looking at :
G-SKILL Ripjaw F3-12800CL7D-4GBRH (7-7-7-24 @ 1.6v) $125
Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 996657 (7-7-7-20 @ 1.85-1.9v) $110
Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 996601 (7-7-6-18 @ 1.85-1.9v) $130
None of those 3 models are on the QVL for this asus board (Other G-SKILL models are) but seen over in the Mushkin forum that it has worked on my board for other people.
I have searched around and seen most people like G-skill and Mushkin I am just curious about the actual stated performance of RAM. I see the Mushkin run at a higher voltage then the G-SKILL was wondering if that would cause me problems with my board or for the life of the memory in general. I'm just not sure which to go with and if the higher voltage on the Mushkin is a big deal or not. Any help anyone can provide is appreciated.
