Kingston Memory Compatibility With i7 3770K And GA-Z77X-UD4H

[quujabaar]

Hi there!

Is my memory compatible with the CPU and MOBO?

Memory: 2x8GB 1600MHz Kingston CL9, KHX16C9X3K2/16X

CPU: Intel i7 3770K
MB: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD4H

Here is memory module specification:

Those look like what I'm looking for, for my Intel i5-3570 Gigabyte Z77M-D3H-MVP, I am looking for 2x8GB modules
I am a complete newbie and could use all the help. I have 2x4G Kingston modules in there now KHX1600C9D3/4GX but cannot fully understand the numbers when running CPU-Z program. My mobo has 4 slots, the 2 modules are in slot 1 and 3.

Quujabar,

yes those should be fine with your rig

For info on what is showing in CPU-Z, see the info thread I wrote here:

Any other questions give me a shout

thanks Trdesman1, that info thread you wrote for CPU-Z numbers was very helpful, and you told quujabaar those modules he posted should be fine for his rig and since my motherboard is close to his, I think I'll look to see about getting those 2x8GB modules for my rig

What mobo/CPU? I might be able to suggest a better set

 

[degreaser]

thanks Trademan1, here's my rig

cpu Intel Core i5 3570 22nm Ivy Bridge
mother board Gigabyte Z77M-D3H-MVP

OK, the mobo is good for most anything on the market, your CPU is the straight 3570, not the 3570K? If the non-K at 1866, think I'd try the Ripjaws X, F3-1866C9D-16GXM, which I think your CPU can carry, if it can't then you can drop these to 1600 and tighten the CL to 8 for near same performance as the native 1866/9....Since it's not a K (if it's not) then it can't really OC which is needed for the higher freqs, a bit cheaper and should be no problem as is are the same in 1600/9 the F3-1600C9D-16GXM

Thanks, man!

 

[degreaser]

it's a straight i5-3570 with no K for over-clocking

Then I'd go either the 1866 or the 1600, if yur 3570 has a strong MC it can carry 1866 with turbo -boost on, if not we can drop to 1600 and with the tighter CL have near 1866 performance
