Question 1

Do they offer this particular spec (DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Timing 9-11-10 Cas Latency 9) in RED? I have an AMD system and the Blue clashes.

Also, do these have good Heat Sink Clearance? The sticks I have now barely clear the stock Wraith cooler I have installed. Will these clear the Wraith cooler?

Accepted Answer

I can't answer to the color but they are pretty low profile, pretty close to that of production desktop sized ram. When installed I would say they come about an inch off the mobo. My Hyper 212 Evo barely clears them but there is space.  I have them on an AMD Asus m5a97 r2.0 and they run at 1600Mhz out of box. I tried bumping them up to the 2133Mhz but they reset after a bios upgrade and I haven't set them back up but they work great!

Question 2

Are these dual rank or single rank?

Accepted Answer

It's hard to say if that's a legitimate question.  I'm not an expert, but I'm not a novice and I've never heard of such.  If the "shopper" is asking questions above my knowledge level, that suggests he's as an expert whereby he should be able to infer the answer about rank from the memory specs.

Question 3

Is this product compatible with lga1150?

Accepted Answer

yes,but you won't be able to run it at 2133 on some low end chipset Mobo with LGA1150

Question 4

Am replacing the G skill 4X1GB 240 pin DDR2 unbuffered ram with newer Aries series 2X4 GB DDR3 sticks. I have modified 2007 Dell XPS-410 several times since new to Q-6600 Core 2 Quad 775pin CPU and upgraded the video card plus some other items. I just installed 8.1 Pro 64 bit OS and works as well as it should. I am also upgrading video card again as much I think as the stock MB will handle. I really wish to be sure that this ram will work OK other than lower speed? Thanks much, if others have used 775 pin CPU with 240pin DDR3 ram together would like to know?

Accepted Answer

NO they are not backwards compatible, you will need to upgrade your mobo as well if you can find one that supports that cpu and ddr3
