LGA1156

[junkmail]

Hello,

I recently purchased a new motherboard and memory. Mobo is Gigabyte 945T-ES3G, memory is G-Skill F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL. The package for the memory states it is "designed for LGA1156" but this motherboard is a LGA775 socket. Will this memory still work or should I return it?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Tom's Forum!

Assuming you meant GA-P45T-ES3G http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3857#sp
4 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 16 GB of system memory
* Due to Windows 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than 4 GB.
Dual channel memory architecture
Support for DDR3 1600/1333/1066 MHz memory modules
Support for non-ECC memory modules

The F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL http://gskill.com/products.php?index=222 should be fine:

Enjoy! Just keep the RAM in the same colored slots; refer to page 16 of your manual.
