Hey Tomshardware i have a pc with 6 Gb ram While i play i use 90-95 % i have other things in the bagground that takes alot of the Memory one of them is Google Chrome

my spec is
Ga-870-ud3 rev 3,1
Amd Phenom X6 II 1090t
Kingston hyperx 3x2 gb 1600 mhz
gtx 670

i was thinking 16 gb or is that over kill ?

I am using 12gb 1600mhz Corsair Vengeance Performance.

I have never had a problem Corsair Vengeance Ram and would highly recommend it.

The amount that you use i would recommend that you invest in at least 12gb and if you need any more then you can always up it to 16gb,

How many RAM slots have you got?

I'd look to the GSkill Snipers in 1600/9 works well with AMD

should i go with 2x8 or 4x4 i have 4 sockets and max gb is 16

 

[Tradesman1]

Max is 4x4GB on your mobo, unless they've done a BIOS update, it doesn't support 8GB sticks

 

[bobohenriksen]

is it a bad MB ?

 

[Tradesman1]

No just a model that was originally released before the move/release to the 8GB sticks

 

[bobohenriksen]

so 4 sticks should i go for 16 gb

and another thing the ones you linked are a bit higher then normal ram i have a noctua nh-d14 is there space for it

 

[Tradesman1]

Yep, let us know how it goes
