Question 1

will this memory work on a asus m5a97 evo r2.0 MB ? i want to upgrade my current 1600 to a blazing fast 2400 mhz

Accepted Answer

yes, here is what i found> 4 x DIMM, Max. 32GB, DDR3 2133(O.C.)/1866*/1600/1333/1066 MHz ECC, Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory 
Dual Channel Memory Architecture

Question 2

Will this ram work with a 760GMA-P34 (FX) mobo? It a little older rig with a AMD FX4300

Accepted Answer

Yes this will work, however your board will only run at the following speeds 1066, 1333  and when overclocked at 1600, 1866, MHz  i don't recommend overclocking.  i have had this installed in my rig for over a year and i've not had any issues related to memory.

Question 3

I have a asus mother bord Z87 Plus will these memory chips work on my bord?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Z87 supports DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000), so they will work on your motherboard without any problems.

Question 4

Hello I have 16GB of Ram on my computer I am looking to upgrade to 32GB as my motherboard supports it but the RAM sticks I have installed have an  F3-2133c10S-8GXM?
all the info matches except the model number as this one is F3-2133c10D-16GXM
is this the same as I have and if not will this work with my current RAM or will it be incompatible? Thanks

Accepted Answer

If I'm reading your question correctly, you have 2 x 8 GB of existing RAM at similar timings and are hoping to just purchase 2 x 8 GB of this to have 4 x 8 GB at 2133 MHZ.

If that is what you are hoping to do, it is very unlikely that this will work.

The reason for this is that the XMP settings or timings embedded on your existing RAM were selected to work with 2 x 8 GB of RAM not 4 x 8 GB of RAM.

That isn't to say it won't work, or that it cannot work at very close to the timings embedded in the XMP settings, but it is very unlikely.

If I were you, I'd purchase a set of 4 x 8 GB at the MHZ you want and then sell your existing set.

For more guidance I suggest contacting G.Skill support. They were very helpful to me at getting my RAM to work at the specified timings even though they were unstable using XMP. They helped me set the timings manually and upping the voltage ever so slightly. After that it was rock solid.

Good Luck!

Question 5

Is this memory kit compatible with  the XMP on Asus Z97 PRO Motherboard ?
I can't find it on the mobo QVL.

Accepted Answer

Running it on a z77 no issues. using it XMP, I have found the G.Skill Memory to be about the most stable for the price..

Question 6

Hello, Everyone

What is CAS latency, specifically I would like to know, some RAM comes with a CAS latency 10 or CAS latency 9. What does that 10 or 9 mean? Thank you for you answered questions :)

Accepted Answer

olumn Access Strobe (CAS) latency, or CL, is the delay time between the moment a memory controller tells the memory module to access a particular memory column on a RAM module, and the moment the data from the given array location is available on the module's output pins.

In general, the lower the CL or CAS, the better.

Question 7

will these sticks work with the new 4790k processor?

Accepted Answer

As per the specs on that processor it claims the max memory is 32GB and supports ddr3-1333/1600 and there are only 2 memory channels - which means you should add them 2 at a time.

So buy 2 of these and you'll have head room for 2 more if you want.  And since they are faster than required, the memory will easily handle the load...with headroom for overclocking the CPU/memory channel.

Question 8

What was the best clock speed and timing you managed on these?

Accepted Answer

My best Clock speed was simply 1866mhz via the simple AMD variant of the XMP profile. That was on an old A10-5750 CPU in an HP laptop. my slightly newer replacement for that machine doesn't allow any kind of overclocking via BIOS, so I can't say much beyond the fact that, like nearly every memory stick rated above the most common frequency in use during its manufacture, they appear to be DDR3 1600 modules with Manufacturer-supported overclocking via BIOS profiles. Tinkering extensively might get you further, but don't get your hopes up.

Question 9

Will it work with ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z and AMD FX-8350 without Q-error codes?

Accepted Answer

Should.

Question 10

I upgraded to this 16g ram from an 8g...but when i put both of these new ones in my video card wasn't starting, but it will if i only put 1. Why is this? this is my video card XFX Radeon R7 360 R7-360P-2255 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card

Accepted Answer

If the Motherboard is a Intel and you have swapped or moved the cpu in any way. You might have bent some pins in the slot and the connection with said Board pins arent connecting 100% with the CPU.. Or the 2nd ram slot is dead . About the only 2 options IMO there
