Question 1

Could I install these alongside two 8GB Ripjaws with the same timing specs? I originally had four of them installed but one went bad and now I need to install a new pair. These would cost a little less than Ripjaws but I wasn't sure if all four had to be the exact same model or just the same specs. MB is Fatal1ty Z68 Professional Gen3. Thanks for any assistance.

Yes, most motherboards would be able to handle that, if the frequencies and timings are identical.  Make sure that you are in fact matching the sizes together in the dual channel slots since the different models should be installed such that one kind are channel A and the other kind channel B, but you seem to be on top of all that.  They are usually arranged in an alternating pattern on the motherboad, to confuse people who haven't seen it yet.

Question 2

Hello,
I am planing to upgrade the RAM in my PC from 8gb to 16 gb. However, I am not sure of this brand and model can be a replacement of Samsung M378B1G73DB0-CK0 8GB?

Accepted Answer

I used G-skill ram many time about dozen times, never had any problems.

Question 3

I can't find this ram on the G.Skill official website, and there is virtually no info online about this model. The only thing I can find close is 9 CAS model on their website. Is this an old model or a special buy; is there a reason to be concerned?

**It says it's compatible with z87 mobo so I'm guessing it will also work with z97?

~Thanks

I could only imagine it's newer since G.skill is showing the 1600C9D model.  I wouldn't be concerned at all.  If it fits the board it will be a great buy.  This is my second set of this G.skill sniper series RAM and it rocks.

Question 4

what does the "Intel Z87/ Z77/ Z68/ P67 MemoryModel F3-1600C10D-16GSR" in the product definition mean?  Is this designed to only work with the motherboard chipsets listed?  Or will it also work with the Z97 chipset motherboards?

Accepted Answer

Greetings,

This RAM kit should work correctly with the Z97 chipset; the description was just noting what is on the actual package of the RAM kit. Should have no issues.

Question 5

In my shopping cart. Is this compatible with(from newegg):ASRock B75 PRO3-M LGA 1155 Intel B75 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard?

Accepted Answer

The specs on the motherboard don't say, so I would call the support number given in the description, and ask them how much ram that motherboard can take.
