Hey,
I bought a pre-overclocked system from overclockers some years ago. Its a I7 system, running @ 3.8Ghz, with 6GB of mem. I'm still happy with the CPU performance, and I've changed the main drive to be SSD so it boots up quickly enough. Swapped out the graphics cards a while back for an overclockers sourced Nvidia 970.
Problem is, I bought fallout 4, and it needs 8GB of Ram. The ram supplied by overclockers in the system is 3x2GB, which are a matched set. Obviously OC clocked my machine according to the spec of the ram.
So What ram should I buy to increase the memory. Crucial's website is suggesting 2x4GB, but the manual for the board says you can't have 5 memory sockets filled, so I'd need to remove my 6GB, which doesn't seem great. And of course with my system being overclocked, I'd be frightened that the settings won't be compatible with the new memory and might fry them. For example my memory says 1.65V, but crucial is suggest 1.35V or 1.5V memory.
I've attached a few pictures of some of the relevant bios screens, and of the memory modules that are currently in my machine.
Ideally, I'd like a good increase, but if the answer is to buy 3 exact same modules again, which would get me up to 12 GB, then I'll do it...but are these modules still available ?
Any help or advise would be appreciated.
