Question 1

If you are running it at 1333Mhz (and not 1600 Mhz) what latency does it automatically run at, CL 9, CL 10, or CL 11?

Accepted Answer

I have a gigabyte x99-ud4 will this memory work

Question 2

a) When you install the RAM first does it run at 1333mhz or 1600 MHz (what is the default?)
b) When you install the RAM first does it run at 1.5 volts or 1.65 volts (what is the default?)
c) My motherboard can only recognize up to 1333mhz? Will it reject this memory if installed?
d) My existing memory is 1.5 volts? Since this memory is 1.65 volts, will it damage my motherboard? How will I know if my motherboard will "accept" the extra voltage?
e) My motherboard specs are as follows:  	
"2 * 240-pin DDR3 DIMM slots Supports Dual Channel DDR3 1333/1066 MHz non-ECC, un-buffered memory
(Max 8GB on 64-bit Operating Systems)". Will this memory install without any problems ? (I don't care if it operates at the lower 1333Mhz, as long as it works OK)

Thanks in advance.

The best advice I can give is to go to the web site of the firm that built your motherboard.   Almost all sites will list compatible memory for their motherboards

Question 3

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.
