Can I install 2 2x2GB memory kits?
Last response: in Memory
Hi,
I was looking for some 1600/CL6 or CL7 RAM, and a guy offered me two kits of these:
https://www.mushkin.com/Memory/Redline/996970.aspx
As you can see they've got really tight timings, which is great. But unfortunately it's only 4GB (2x2GB). But the guy offered me two of these kits, and allows me to test them before I have to pay. So my question is, is it a problem if I install two of these kits on my motherboard? And if it's ok, are there any changes I need to make? As far as I have heard, if you run two kits with high MHz and tight timings, you have to play with the voltages a little. Perhaps increasing the DRAM voltage to 1.7 will work?
Right under here are my pc specs, I hope you can help me, and thanks a lot in advance!
Asus P8Z68-V Pro
i5 2500K @ 4.5 ~ 1.35V
OCZ 700W
Crucial M4 128GB
no graphics card at the moment, buying EVGA GTX 580 SC soon.![:)]( ":)")

More about : install 2x2gb memory kits
intel doesnt recommend using rams at higher than 1.6v since it could dmg the CPU so i recommend getting a low voltage ram insteadlike http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... you are looking for lower timing you can OC the ram and adjust them ,but if you are dead set on those rams you dont have to change anything
Why is it, that always when I ask questions forums, I'm always getting answers to other questions instead of the question that I originally asked? I highly appreciate that you want to help me, but once again, my question was:
Is it possible to install 2 kits of 2x2 GB Mushkin 1600 6-8-6-24 on my Asus P8Z68-V Pro motherboard? If so, are there any changes I need to make, to for example voltages? We'll get to the other complications later.
You say that anything above 1.65V may damage the CPU, so why is it that so many memory kits are 1.65V then?
