Adding extra RAM to an OC'd Titan 8700i Pulse i5 3570K

[mrwookie28]

Hi all!

I've got myself a Titan 8700i Pulse from here (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-247-OE) which is OC'd to 4.4ghz as standard and I've recently upgraded the RAM from the standard 8GB up to 16GB and whilst browsing CPU bundles on here yesterday I noticed a note on the page for bundles that if memory is increased then new BIOS settings will need to be applied (see note at the bottom of the page http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-152-OE)

My question therefore would be would this be the case with my system and would I need to change any BIOS settings to compensate for the additional 8GB of RAM?

I used indentical RAM for the additional 8GB and I've performed a number of tests using CPU-Z and Prime 95, as per Bicepo's thread here (http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18383228), and the clock speeds seem no different to what they were prior to fitting the additional 8GB so all looks ok but whilst I work with PC's on a day to day basis the whole OCing scene is totally new to me so just want to check I'm not overlooking anything.

Any help/advice is much appreciated.

Thanks.

That is more of a warning than anything else. sometimes it will run fine, other times new settings may be required.

Obviously if they built it with 8, tested it with 8 then that's all they can vouch for - the new builds have the option of upgrading to 16.

Good news if you have been able to install without issue

Thanks for the response. All seems to be running fine just wanted to make sure I wasnt assuming that all was ok when I should be making some changes somewhere.

Just out of curiousity what issues would there have been? Would it have just been the lower CPU speed or something more?
