I have a space problem with wanting mroe RAM!

cu3ed · 9 Mar 2011 at 22:44

Basically I have the

Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H AMD 880G Motherboard

and the OCZ Reaper Low-Latency 4GB ram in it...

But with Photoshop cs5 64bit, a window open filled with stock images, mutiple layers etc im running out of ram and Win7 keeps thrwoing up alerts that im running out ot RAM, knocking Aero off etc...but I have a problem with space...

Everything is packed into teh Phoenix Micro ATX case, then I bought the Scythe Shuriken Rev.B Quiet Low Profile CPU Cooler
Of course thats causing over hang on teh availble space..so..whats my options here?

I think he meant to link to the 2x4GB sticks, I bought some G.Skill Ripjaws X 8GB in 2 sticks the other week, excellent ram so far

Yeah thats the ones, not sure on the price of the older ram, use the Price check section of the MM

Done..have some older Geil DDR2 stuff so maybe sell them off and itll mostly pay for the upgrade!

another possible solution would be some sort of adapter to make your RAM go at an angle away from the cooler, since its only a very small amount of room yo need to clear for it to all fit under the processor fan

cant find any right this minute but i know ive seen some around somewhere

bit early in the day for you?

cu3ed · 10 Mar 2011 at 15:44

Thanks for the inputs....

Just ordered up the..

G.Skill RipJawsX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit

Seems the best solution at a good enough price once I have sold off my 4GB kit.

Cupra · 10 Mar 2011 at 16:22

yeah you did go the right direction

are you running the channel single channel?

cu3ed · 10 Mar 2011 at 16:35

I dont know...am I?...but lost when it comes down to specifics if im being honest.

If it helps I honestly only have aram problem with using CS5, im not gaming or anythign on the PC.
