Upgrading RAM on OC Bundle

deadfolk · 3 Sep 2013 at 12:56

Hi All,

I'm thinking about getting "Quasar 240i" Intel Core i5 4670K @ 4.4GHz Overclocked Haswell Gaming PC Bundle but at the moment I can only go for the default 8GB version.

If in the future I need to upgrade to 16GB, will I just be able to replace the 2x4GB with 2x8GB and keep the overclock without any further messing about?

I know that 16GB seems excessive now, but Star Citizen is already listing 8GB as minimum, and I imagine this will become more common.

Thanks for any input.

Yeah - that's the thing. Can't go the extra £65 right now - I'm in Ireland, and it works out nearly an extra €100. I'm pushing my luck with her indoors as it is!

Let me ask a slightly different question, then: Would I be able to swap the RAM down the line and maintain the OC with some fiddling and help from the forum?

I'm kind of torn between going for this or attempting what P4Clock suggests. I could probably get a 16GB build for not much more than the bundle costs, or less if I go for stock cooling for now and then look at OC'ing in the future.
