Returning RAM?

mufcmark · 26 Mar 2011 at 13:52

I bought the ocz special ops here on the 24th Feb on a today only deal.

I've been informed that this ram isn't great for a sandy bridge system as they require 1.5v. I was wondering If I could return this ram if it has not been opened and is still sealed. Would I be allowed to return it or is it too late?

This ram should work with a sandy bridge system as it has different timings with c9 running at 1.45-1.55v and c8 running at 1.55-1.65v.

Would I really need to return this ram or would it be fine?

No you wouldn't be able to return the RAM unless OCUK are feeling generous. You will need to sell it/keep it and buy a new kit if you want to change it.

The RAM as far as I'm aware can be used with SB builds anyway.

It should be fine.

Run it as 9-9-9-24 around 1.5V.

From OCUK "Recommended memory voltage is 1.50v, so make sure to run your memory at 1.50v, higher could limit lifespan of the CPU".

just run it at 1.5 with the C9 timings. you will see no real difference between C8 and C9 timings
