Question 1

is this memory double or single sided?

Accepted Answer

All DDR standard memory is double sided pins. It allows two signals to be produced. This memory included.

Question 2

Is this compatible with AMD systems running UEFI BIOS? I've got an FX-8350 processor and an ASUS Sabertooth 990FX MOBO. I love the latency of this ram and I hope it'll work with this rig.

Accepted Answer

Yes it is compatible, i'm running the same processor and ram with UEFI.

Question 3

will i be able to use this with amd? it says intel but the ones i found compatible with amd are out of stock

Accepted Answer

I would say yes this ddr3 ram should work with amd or intel. I've never heard of ram only for intel or only for amd. Unlike CPUs ram is universal. Just scour over specs on your mother board, make sure its 240 pin and ddr3. To be sure of campatiblitlity either contact G.Skill or use a web site like pcpartpicker just add the dot com. Good luck.

Question 4

I notice that Newegg offers an identical pair of these except the Cas latency is 8 instead of 7. What's the difference? Is one a newer model. A replacement? I understand what Cas latency is.

Hello,

This is all I know about it(from Wikipedia):

Column 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, the better.

Question 5

running this g3258, any issues?

Accepted Answer

That processor specs according to ark intel only supports 1333mhz ram this ram will run at that speed but is made to run as an XMP profile. at 1600mhz. Ithink you could find less expensive ram to run at 1333.

Question 6

Is this compatible with:Lenovo ThinkServer TS440 70AQ - 1 x Xeon E3-1225V3 / 3.2 GHz?
RAM
   Technology:  DDR3 SDRAM - ECC
   Memory Speed:  1600 MHz
   Memory Specification Compliance:  PC3-12800
   Form Factor:  DIMM 240-pin
   Features:  Unbuffered
   Configuration Features:  1 x 4 GB

Accepted Answer

I notice in your specs you list "technology: DDR3 SDRAM - ECC". This is not ECC ram. If you are using this on a server that runs 24/7 you want error correcting RAM (ECC) (especially if the server is busy) other wise it will cause your server to crash (potentially). For a PC this is great RAM I use it in my gaming rig. Just remember to go into your BIOS and set an XMP profile or manually change the timing. Again this is not ECC RAM.

Question 7

Compatible with LG1150 MBs?

Accepted Answer

It should be, check the clock speed on the sellers website, these will clock at 1600, the motherboard should indicate what it will handle.

Question 8

I have a Fx 8350 CPU and I have a gigabyte 990fxa-ud3 mb (rev. 4.0) I am having issues with getting this thing to run at the rated 1600 speed... I have tried the XMP setting but it comes up as a boot failure then I suppose it loads the working setup and goes back to default... I have also tried plugging in all the timings manually and even at one point increasing the ram voltage by a few notches and this did no good either. I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction? (I am not a OC guru) I just want my Ram to run 1600 like its supposed to.

Accepted Answer

1. Make sure you have all the same memory, your memory is going to operate at the slowest sticks speed
2. Make sure you put the memory in proper DIMM configuration, It's almost never as intuitive as just putting them in two slots right next to eachother, looking at the manual the proper duel channel configuration for your system is Channel 0: DDR3_2, DDR3_4, so the sticks should be in the two slots closest to your CPU.

Question 9

The timing is listed as 7-8-8-24, but in the overview it's listed at 9-9-9-24.  I also noticed they whited out the timings on the picture.  I don't need a lecture about how I won't be able to tell the difference in the timings.  What I want to know is, what will I be receiving if I order this?

Accepted Answer

this RAM has to be manually set in your BIOS to run at the 7-8-8-24 CAS. Depending on your mother board/BOIS you can either set the timings manually or select an XMP profile and it will set the timing for you. If you do not do this the RAM will default to 1333 and I think 9-9-9-24. So to answer your Question you will be receiving RAM capable of 1600mhz @ 7-8-8-24 if you order this.

Question 10

Is it possible to get this RAM stick in red? This has a CAS latency of 7 and the only available red stick has CAS latency of 9.

Accepted Answer

I could not find this RAM in RED if you do please respond to my answer. I was also looking for Red. I might be adding another 8GB to my PC soon. Thanks.
