When buying frames, do they have to have the same mhz as currently inserted?

Question

Hello, I currently have a 1333 mhz 2x2 gb ddr3 ram inserted in the computer. I would like to buy 4 GB of RAM so that I have 8 GB. Does it have to have the same MHz when buying a frame bone? And one more question about energy consumption and the use of the power supply. Does RAM consume a lot of...

You will find 100% of all information in the motherboard manual. (which model you did not provide ). I'm afraid that with 2x3gb + 1x4gb you will say goodbye to dual.

The answer is yes. You should buy 2 x2gb dice to maintain dual channel mode. As for the power supply: On what basis did you conclude this? 1 DDR3 RAM chip consumes a maximum of about 4W, so as I wrote earlier, your power supply will still have a large reserve of power (if it is 100% functional). Added after 1 [minutes]: This is a bit of a marketing trick read about it on the web. Single channel performance is slightly lower according to unnoticed by me, but many people prefer to keep the single channel mode - for peace of mind. Added after 1 [minutes]: Better write if you are interested in further expansion of the framework. In this case, dual can work with 2x2gb and 2x4gb. Dice must be pairs in the slots or dual won't work. Added after 3 [minutes]: Oh, remember that it's best to buy dice of the same manufacturer, the same model and preferably the same size - then there is the best chance that they will work properly.

In the future, you will change these 2x2GB to 2x4GB or 2x8. It is best if you sell the current and buy 2x4GB, then you will have DC and free slots for the next expansion, but before you use that much memory, this computer will be a monument.
Enter the model of this Chieftec.

If you want, you can mix the sizes of the dice. The board manufacturer, however, recommends not to mix size, speed and chips: Also, if something doesn't work, don't come crying ...

The brand / manufacturer does not matter but the capacity is better not to mix.

If only you wouldn't buy slower ones because all memories work on one frequency. it's best to buy 1333 if you have such, because why overpay. 1666 will probably cost a little more and they will still be in the same configuration as yours were on 1333. Memories still have a time parameter. It is worth choosing similar values so that there are no problems with cooperation.
The memory doesn't use any drastic amounts of electricity, so it should work. What power supply do you have (make and model) and what else do you have in your computer that you are concerned about?

dedito · Answer

Provide full hardware specification.
The memories do not have to have the same speed as the current ones, it is important that the disc supports them. The memories will run at the speed of the slowest installed memory.

Phenom 945 x4 3.00 processor 7850 hd graphics card Chieftec 450w power supply The motherboard of the current model can not be given because I do not remember and writes from the phone.

dedito · Answer

What about drives, disks etc? Compare the parameters of the current power supply with the results of such an example calculator.

rawison · Answer

So my board model is:

GA-78LMT-USB3

Forgive the question, but I don't know much about it. I would like to know what this dual channel gives me. And if I lost the dual channel, would I experience any performance drops or something like that?

rawison · Answer

If there is no significant difference in performance, I would prefer to buy 1 bone of 4 gb. When buying 2 dice, 2 GB each, I would have all the slots taken and maybe I would like to add something more in the future. I was worried about the power supply because some people from another forum, when I changed the motherboard, thought that the power supply would not last because it works at the limit. The card manufacturer also stated that the power supply was at least 500w. But I wasn't worried about that because so far there weren't any problems with mine. The current producer of my two ram bones is transcend.

And there is a big chance for some trouble if I buy 1 4gb chip, or is something like that rare? - And one more thing. Don't mix memory with different capacity + third-party at all?

safbot1st · Answer

Let me disagree but why memory QVL was invented ... The memory of some manufacturers are sometimes incompatible with motherboards. - I mean both the design and the type of chips used. In such cases, troubles occur, in fact, rarely, but they do occur ... additionally, as I wrote, DC will stop working at 2x2 + 4x1gb. You can follow the right advice of a colleague crazy and replace 2x2 dice with 2x4gb. It will remain DC and expandable.

rawison · Answer

I will take a risk and take kingston in 1 bone 4gb.

safbot1st · Answer

Okay, your supposed decision should work. I forgot to write about timings - frame latency (this refers to the type / manufacturer of dice and chips as mentioned by a colleague crazy ). Namely, the bone you are buying is the CL-9 as you can see. The question is, what CLs have the bones you already have. They should also work on cl9. Paste the screen from the SPD tab and the screen from the memory tab from the cpu-z program.

safbot1st · Answer

Ok, your ram is currently working on CL9 - this kingston bone should move, but I do not give a guarantee as I wrote above ...

wariato · Answer

True, but currently I have not encountered the problem of incompatibility in terms of the brand of memory and not the manufacturer of the bones used on it, both in PCs and laptops. Only with Samsung bones there are sometimes strange actions when it comes to cooperation.

rawison · Answer

Bones ordered also thank everyone for help

When buying frames, do they have to have the same mhz as currently inserted?
