Adding 2x2GB sticks

nanaki · 23 Jun 2011 at 11:38

Hello.

I recently bought the Titan Spinosaur (sadly the week prior to it being offered with 8GB ram!) with 2x2GB sticks in it.

Currently it has this http://overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-203-CS

I'd like to buy another 2 and put them in, having 4x2GB.

Is there any issue regarding voltages or whatnot, with doing this? I've not done anything with installing ram before.

should just plug in and work.

Awesome, thank you for your help!

Filling all 4 RAM slots may affect the stability of the overclock.

You'll just have to try it and see.

The Titan Spinosaur is overclocked - so you run the risk of compromising the clock filling all 4 dimm slots as it puts extra stress on the memory controller.

It may just plug in and work - but it could also easily destabilse the clock. This could be rectified with BIOS tweaking but you sound as though you're unsure of what you're doing.

I would contact OcUK in the customers services forum.

Okay, thank you.

I'll make contact before I order/install some ram then
