Hello,
I made my pc while ago, and it was time to put some more ram in it (originally 3 x2gb ddr3 1600 corsair dominator.
I have a i7 920 (d0) with
p6t deluxe v2 motherboard, windows 7 64 home, and bought myself 3 x 4gb ddr3 1600 corsair vengeance.
Now, what should i do, just add the new ram and loose the old (= total 12 gb / 3 dimms), or keep the old (total 18 gb / 6 dimms)
I know windows 7 home has a max of 16 gb, so the latter option will be 16gb / 5 dimms, if that's possible (didn't test that yet)
The timings and voltages (dominator = 8-8-8-24 at 1.65v / vengeance = 9-9-9-24 at 1.50v), are they gonna mess things up? Or should i use the lower/ slower values for all?
Another question is, if i select the xmp profile in the bios, does that mean it loads the specific xmp profile for that memory in that slot, so the different ram memorys would have different timings accordingly or does it load one profile, for all 6 modules in the dimm slots, regardless the kind of memory?
I just started oc-ing my system a little bit, u guys have already been of a tremendous help.
Thanks.
