Question 1

I am assuming that it is not ECC memory because the is no mention of ECC. Am I Correct?

Accepted Answer

Hello,
I tried to find this answer. I did a few diferent searches. I cannot find answer but, if I look at products slightly differant. I can see that they say non EEC. I think it's safe to assume your correct.

Question 2

Thanks to Windows 10, I have to upgrade my memory that has served my computer VERY WELL for the last 4 years. I know, time to upgrade or build a new one, but I love my system and only need a memory upgrade.
I have 2 2gb Corsair memory cards on a GigaByte Ga-P55A-UD3 m/b, on the white slots. I want to add 2 more 4gb of memory onto the blue slots.
Will these work well for me? Whant can you recommend? Thanks!

Accepted Answer

If you are asking about the corsair memory I will say I love my XMS3 memory been using this version for many years with no problems. I gave a quick look at the specs on your board. You should have no problems with the memory. It should support up to 16gb. But check on the gigaByte website for complete compatibility.

Question 3

my CPU-Z Memory tab describes my current ram stick as: 666.5 mhz. what is yours? i've had mem probs and want to avoid any incompatibility problems. thx!

Accepted Answer

Hey, my frequency shows up as 669.7 mhz.  I like this RAM.  Bought 1 stick when I built this machine 18 months ago.  Recently added another in February.  I haven't extensively tested it, but I see no problems with it.  I've noticed when shopping for the second stick, there are several flavors of this particular Corsair RAM.  Make sure you get what is recommended by your motherboard.  Hope this helps.

Question 4

I intend to replace my existing system memory , which runs at 1.5V with this memory which runs at 1.65V. Will a motherboard typically support the extra 0.15V or is there a danger of the motherboard overheating? Also, if the motherboard only recognizes speeds of 1333Mhz, will this memory run at that 1333mhz speed or will the motherboard reject this memory sticks. Thanks.

Accepted Answer

The motherboard will be able to handle the extra voltage unless it specifies that it requires low power memory. And if the board is rated for 1333mhz and the ram is faster then the ram will just underclock.

Question 5

Will this be compatible in my Gateway ZX6971 pc?

Accepted Answer

It should be.  The specifications for RAM dictate that it be backwards compatible, but it's not a 100% guarantee.  I would ask Gateway to be sure.
