  • ASUS M4A77T/USB3 AMD Phenom II X2 555 1600MHz RAM Question

    Hi,

    I have a the following configuration, and am looking at getting some G.Skill RAM:

    Motherboard: ASUS M4A77T/USB3
    Processor: AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition Callisto 3.2GHz Socket AM3 80W Dual-Core (sorry I know it's wordy)

    I read the thread here, started by shwoa, who has a similar system: http://www.gskill.us/forum/showthrea...=M4A77T%2FUSB3

    Question 1)
    Should I follow the same advice given by Tradesman and GSKILL TECH, namely:
    DDR3 RAM, 1600 mhz
    Timing of 8-8-8-24 is best
    Voltage of 1.5 volts is best
    Ripjaws RAM is recommended

    Question 2)
    I am looking at this RAM set:
    G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL8Q-16GBZH
    http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16820231516
    Should this work with my configuration? as far as I can tell, it meets all the recommended criteria (and is a pretty damn good price)

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    With an X2 555, think I'd suggest a 1333 set or if you want to try 1600 then at least a CL9 set. For 4x4GB 1600 the minimum I'd suggest trying would be a 965 Rev C3 (and some of those have problems running the sticks), see AMD's own guide:
