Will extra RAM effect my CPU clock speed?

Hi Folks,

I've just received delivery of the below:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-170-OE

However my 8GB RAM upgrade was missed from the order, I've already logged a call with OcUK Support regarding that issue.

I was wondering, if the extra RAM is sent to me, will I need to make any modifications to the CPU clock speed, will the extra RAM effect it?

I've never overclocked before, so would need someone to hold my hand if I did it myself. What's the chance they will say it needs to be RMA'd so they can re-overclock it?

Cheers

So on that basis, as the oc has been done by OcUK, would they talk me through how to oc my machine with the extra RAM?

Well, if the extra RAM is sent to me I'll be going from 2x4GB to 4x4GB, is it likely to make the CPU clock drop? Will this end up in the unit being RMA'd for the oc to be done again?

Is it the same ram?

Yeah its 2 of these kits: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-044-TG

I've only received 1 of the kits which came installed on the motherboard.

I guess I'll just have to wait and see what their support team comes back with as it is their (OcUK) fault that the RAM kit is missing

Thanks for your help Mynight and NathWraith

Yeah will do, I'll put a link in this thread when I get round to installing it all.

An update to this, Evoaddict in the OcUK Customer Services forum has informed me that adding the 2 extra sticks should not affect the overclock as the Haswell chip works differently.

Not sure what difference is, but good to know everything will be all right.

Once again, thanks folks
