Question 1

My question is can these stack if I was to buy 4 sticks? My mother board has four slots so I was thinking maybe four sticks of 8 would stack up to 32 gigabytes in total or would that not work?

Accepted Answer

You can run these in a 32 GB configuration with no problem, as long as your motherboard supports it. Just because there's 4 slots doesn't mean you can hold 32 GB, your mobo could max out at 16 GB (4x4GB). Just do a quick search here for your mobo and check what it's maximum capacity is.

Question 2

Hi,

Not sure if this is a silly question or not, but does the color matter? I've got two sticks of the black right now and wanted to get 8GB more, so these two "match" for everything but the color!

Accepted Answer

They are no different.
To put your mind to ease and ensure compatibility, use whatever color you have now in DIMM slots 0 and 2 and use these in 1 and 3 (or 1/3 and 2/4 depending on your boards labeling). That way the same colour will be running in dual channel with its equal colour partner.
Hope that makes sense.

Question 3

Would i be able to pair this with the black version of this ram if they are both at 1600mhz without running into any problems?

Accepted Answer

As long as the timing and other specs are the same , no problem . The outside color doesn't matter , it's inside that counts !

Question 4

Thise set of RAM says on the box is is compatible with i3 i5 and i7 but can i still use it with a AMD FX-6300? because thats what im using and i dont want it to fail me

Accepted Answer

Yes, this really depends on your motherboard but any motherboard capable of supporting the i3, i5, and i7 as well as the AM3+ socket that your processor has will support this.  As long as you did not get a newer ddr4 motherboard (unlikely)

Question 5

Are these good for my MSI Z87-G43 gaming motherboard LGA 1150 with a Intel core i5-4690?? If not what other ram (brand and specifics) would you recommend?? Thx

Accepted Answer

Bang for my buck vengeance ram has been great.  I have been using for 4 years without issue.  I hear gskill ripjaw series are good slightly better for overclocking but I have not tested this.  As far as I know its just heresay.

Question 6

Would this ram work with an MSI Z97 Mobo?

Accepted Answer

This would depend on your specific motherboard, but my gut feeling would be yes. Most motherboard manufacturers have a QVL on their web page listing the memory they have tested and recommend for use. That said, Corsair Vengeance is a good brand of RAM, and you shouldn't have any issues with it, unless you happen to obtain a faulty stick of RAM.

Question 7

Will this fit my Dell OptiPlex 380?

Accepted Answer

The memory is great... with improved performance...  They create a lot of heat...  Make sure you have fans installed...

Question 8

How well would this ram work with a AMD FX-8320 Eight Core 3.5GHz?

Accepted Answer

Fine, as long as your motherboard supports this ram (check that your mobo has 2 empty ram slots and supports 240-Pin DDR3 sticks).  It might not run at 1600 speed (my pc underclocked my ram because the voltage wasn't over clocked but it doesn't matter).

Question 9

Are the cooling fins removeable?  I want to use in a Dell 980 small form factor and space is limited.  Trying to go from 4g to 8g.

Accepted Answer

I bought these for that exact reason, upgrading memory on a Dell 980. You should check crucial's memory thing to make sure that the mobo will accept it. The model I had I believe had 4 slots but only supported up to 8gb, thus you would need 4x 2GB. I haven't tried removing the fins but they are definitely a tight fit in the Dell small form factor. You could probably take the fins off with some care but you wouldn't want to do any overclocking without them.

Question 10

Will it work with motherboard p8z77-v lx from asus?

Accepted Answer

Yes it should be fine. Any DDR3 memory should work with the asus p8z77-v lx. However,  if ur going to be installing windows 10 i would recommend u at least have 12 GB of memory. Win10 has issues with memory and i had to upgrade to 16GB from 8Gb. Just know that ur board can only go up to 32GB of memory. Also if u have a question about the clock speed then dont worry about it. Your board should accept all standard speeds and i believe u can overclock them if u like but its not necessary.
