Will this run okay

[EnzoSmithers]

Afternoon all,

This weekend im going ot put a few new parts into my computer, and 1 of those is a 16GB kit of G.Skill RipjawsX F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL (x4)

On the DIMMS sticker it states 1.50v however when i look in my BIOS the current (pre overclocked mobo/ram from OCUK) is running at 1.65v. Will this ram run okay at that voltage or will I fry it? is the 1.50v on the sticker the max, or min required voltage?

Probably a stupid question but i would rather check first!

Thanks for the help,

Rob

If your BIOS supports XMP profiles then just enable that and it will set the appropriate speed, timings and voltage.

G4Ce - look back at my previous replies - in the 'overclocking and cooling forum'.

Your sytsem has a 'pre-installed clock' and it's not ideal to run the xmp straight away as it will default to 1600MHz and 'may' destabilise your clock and you haven't confirmed yet as to whether or not you have a profile saved? (it may not destabilise - but again i stress look for a saved profile).

Read my previous posts about possible voltage changes for 10666 (1333MHz) settings - for initial testing. And that you may (probably will from reading your above post) need to change the voltage to 1.5 to accomodate the new memory - even when you're ready to run at 128000 settings (1600MHz).

Basically, set the volatage at 1.5V (if memory settings aren't already set at auto) and let the memory run at 1333MHz for now - if all is seems stable after a week with the 'pre-installed clock' then try the XMP - or manually install the settings yourself. Having said that if you're confident that you have a profile saved you could always run the XMP and test it running at 1600MHz 'straight off the bat' - but sometimes it's safer to test things incrementally - i.e. if you have a boot failure or it crashes while testing there's always a slight risk it can effect Windows (i've been unlucky twice with faulty memory corrupting Windows).

Hopefully the clocked sytem will tolerate the full spec - if not you will be able to modify the settings slightly to a lower clock or run @ 4GHz with the memory @ 1333MHz - there's probably very little performance difference between the two...
