Adding more RAM to OCUK bundle

ringo747 · 9 Nov 2010 at 10:00

I have an i5 bundle running at 4Ghz with 4GB RAM.

What options would I have for adding more RAM and would the overclock speed be affected in any way?

I have a P55-UD5 board with an i5 750.

The purpose of adding more RAM is for running VMs mostly.

You would most probably need to reduce speed.

Is this simply done by lowering the clock speed or does memory settings need changed too?

I know nothing about overclock settings so it might be a bit risky.

You may be able to overclock the system but only very slightly, (3.2GHz-3.4GHz) at a push depending on how strong the memory controller on your chip is. However it is something I would not recommend.

I posted this on another thread regarding extra memeory over the standard amount in an OcUK bundle.

Don't think I'll bother then.
