Question 1

Does this product only work with Intel or will it also work with AMD?

Accepted Answer

The memory does not work at full potential with all motherboards and processors.  4 gen Intel chips should not have a problem, but 3rd gen processors gets a little spotty.  I emailed G.Skill about compatibility with an Intel I5-3570K, and they told me it works at full capacity on some machines.  It did work for me, but they wouldn't promise anything.  You can always set it up to work at a slower rate, you just spend more for memory you can't take full advantage of.

Question 2

Will this ram work with an i7-4770? Intel says to use 1866 but I already purchased this because my MOBO said it was compatible...

Accepted Answer

I don't know what the voltage is, but I have an i73770k and wasn't compatible with with 1.65v memory so I had to buy a different model. So you have to look at what your CPU is compatible with as well. Mobo may be good but the CPU might not be.

Question 3

i need to kno if these are compatiable with the z87 g45 gaming motherboard, their website seems to not have my motherboard for any of their products in the compatibility charts. if you could let me kno i would greatly appreciate it.

your site makes me put a question mark...

?

thank you in advance :P

I my self ran into this issue with my Maximus V Formula my ram didn't have my motherboard on there and my board didn't the the ram as being supported either but since day one I haven't had a single issue with it my bios posted just fine and it's running at the advertised speeds.

Question 4

Im building my own computer for the first time time. Ive read that modern ram will work with just about anything. Ive got a asrock 990fx killer motherboard and im thinking about about 4x4 (16gb) Will these work with it or is their better compatibility on other memery? Thanks for the help. And does it make a difference if i got the amd 8 core cpu.

Accepted Answer

To be the absolute sure, use the supported RAM list.  Motherboard manufacturers provide a list of memory that has been tested with each motherboard.  The Approved RAM list for your board is here: www_asrock_com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty%20990FX%20Killer/?cat=Memory

This particular RAM is not listed, but that doesn't mean it will not work.  Be sure to read the Notes on the RAM list.  #5 through #8 are relevant.  This RAM will fit, but depending on the CPU, it may downclock.  In order to achieve the 2400 speed of this RAM, you will have to overclock your computer.  If you don't want to overclock, don't waste the money on this RAM.  Get a lower speed that you know will work.  Also note, even if you do overclock, there is *no* guarantee you can achieve the RAM's 2400MHz anyway.

Hope that helps

Question 5

I have this in a ASUS A88X-PLUS motherboard with an 
AMD A10-7850K A-Series APU. I set the target speed for 2400 and it wouldn't boot. I have 2 kits = two 16 gigs. ive heard I cant get that speed with the 2 kits unless I over clock the processor some how. Ive never over clocked but I built this box to try. so i have the stock heat sink and fan and ordered a corsair hydro cooler. when it comes Im going to try and get this RAM running at a faster speed. I think I ran it at the second lowest rated speed and it booted.
Do you have any suggestions for me when I get the extra cooling installed?

Accepted Answer

You shouldn't have to OC the processor, but the RAM needs about 1.65V to run at 2400MHz.  Also, check the timings.  It is probably using the timings from 1600MHz, which are probably to low to run at 2400MHz.  My set runs at 1600MHz with 11-11-11-28.  This set is rated to run at 10-12-12-31 at 2400MHz. Otherwise, you IMC might not be able to handle the speed. Use Memtest or something similar to check the stability before you boot to the OS.  If that's the case, you can bump up the multiplier from stable to the next level, get it stable, and repeat until you can't get it stable.  Also, 2 kits probably won't get you that speed, really should have bought the single kit with 4 DIMMS instead.  All 4 are tested and certified together to work at 2400MHz, as opposed to 2 sets of 2 that work together.  Good luck with your build!

Question 6

My current ram I have two 4 GB sticks and the model number says f3-2400c10-4gtx is this the same model ram and will it be compatible with the model i am running now?

Accepted Answer

If you're thinking about running these cards side by side with your current RAM cards you won't run into any problems as long as you keep these two on one channel and the other two on the other. You're going to notice a difference in load speeds if these are any faster than your current ones, though, as 2400 is pretty darn fast compared to anything lower.

Question 7

Is this RAM going to work with my Intel i7 4790k and Asus Maximus VII Hero?

The voltage is a bit high but shouldn't the power of the i7 and the motherboard (which is tested to work with the memory) be enough to support the 2400mhz?

Accepted Answer

It should work, I just manually raised the voltage in bios. Btw, I'm selling 4x4gb of that ram if you're interested.

Question 8

Would this RAM need 1.65v to run at 1866?  What I'm asking is can this RAM be undervolted and still run efficiently?  Why would I want to?  I like to have the overhead, and it futureproofs me for a board that will (officially) support 2400.

What speed does this RAM default to?  My current G.Skill 1600 defaults to 1333, its an easy setting in the BIOS to change but I would like to know upfront what this 2400 RAM defaults to.

Any help appreciated, and thank you.

Accepted Answer

Hi,

I ran this RAM at 1866 undervolted (less than 1.6v) for a while, before i overclocked my board to run at 2400. Even at 2400, i am running it only with 1.6 volt. It's been months and It's running stable.

With my board (GA-F2A85XN-WIFI), it defaulted to 1600, which.

Your results may vary of course depending on your configuration.

Hope it helps and good luck

Question 9

is this the best Upgrade with my G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB  & ASUS F2A85-V PRO FM2 AMD A85X  with an AMD A10 6800 CPU?

Accepted Answer

I will add to my answer to say that to use this memory you will want to take your G.SKILL Ares memory out of the system. Your memory needs to have the same timings, voltages, and speed to properly work together. Mixing pairs with different voltages can cause damage to the system, and mixing pairs with different speeds or timings will cause all sticks of memory to operate at the speeds of the slowest pair, negating any benefit of the faster ones.

Question 10

will this memory work with an asrock fm2a75m-itx motherboard?

Accepted Answer

I'm afraid that the asrock FM2A75M-itx motherboard does not officially support any ram higher than 2133mhz. this particular set of ram isn't on their QVL and may or may not be able run at the desired speed of 2400mhz on this motherboard.
