Ram Question

[Brian is Huh?!{CLR}]

So currently i have 2x2 4gigs of Kingston HyperX Blu (Genesis edition)
current ram is DDR3 1600 CAS timing 9: Voltage 1.65
current timing is 9-9-9-27

so i bought a FEW more on amazon. i bought a whopping 16gigs.. i dont need it but it came in a bundle and i could use or sell it later.

the ram is also a Kingston HyperX Blu (regular)
voltage: 1.65
cas timing: 9

would it slow down my rams?

so you have 2x2GB and 2x8GB? If so, I would just replace the 2 2GB sticks with the 2 8GB ones.

i have no use for 16gigs >_> its cool to have it.. but ill throw it in my stash off goodies.

yea i currently have 2x2gb that i want to use.
16gigs wont even matter for gaming.. more for rendering and studios work.

I'm getting confused. You bought a bunch of RAM even though you knew you didn't want nor need it?

[Brian is Huh?!{CLR}]

it was bundled and was on sale! >_>

If you run ESXi or any other Virtualization product it could come in handy

i play games on it only.

my bios recognizes it as 1333mhz.. how do i set it as 1600mhz? theres a ratio of config.. ratio as 2:1,4:1,etc.
4:1 brings the mhz up to 1600mhz.

any help?

[Dead...Again]

what motherboard do you have?

BTW, I think the sweet spot for RAM right now is probably 6-8GB, and having too much is better than having too little.

msi 870 g-45

Throw in the two larger sticks, it;s a no brainer.

It looks like that mobo only handles up to 1333 by default. Found this:

that should help.

i had to change the ratio to 4:1 i figured it out.
