  • Asus P7P55 WS Super computer +I5-760 Ram Question

    Hey guys. new to the fourm and Newish to building a pc.. Have built one years ago when the dual core amds were the big hit LOL...

    My question is and i may as well ask now before i buy ram is this..

    Im looking at some DDR3 2000 ram. F3-16000CL9D-4GBRHD or F3-16000CL9D-4GBTDD

    I want to run 8 gigs of it but for the initial build just going with 4gigs..(maybe all 8)

    I read that some people have problems getting the ram to run the way it comes without configuring the bios. So if anyone can help me out(being bios retarded in a way) info me of what to get some settings in order to get it to run correctly the first time i turn the pc on. i know i MIGHT have to use the MEMok feature to get it to boot initialy but looking for some incite and assistance maybe i should go with ddr3 1600?

    other thoughts are that the mobo box specifies DDR3 2133(O.C.)/1600/1333/1066

    BUT the memory compatibility list from asus shows that ddr3 2000 will work

    G.SKILL F3-16000CL9D-4GBTD(XMP) DDR3 2000 4096MB(Kit of 2)

    G.SKILL F3-16000CL7T-6GBPS(XMP) DDR3 2000 6144MB(Kit of 3)

    G.SKILL F3-16000CL9T-6GBPS(XMP)

      8gb

      If thinking 8GB, should probably get it all in a single package so you know the sticks are tested to work together - could go 4x2GB or to leave slots open for expansion would suggest 2x4GB, i.e.

      F3-16000CL9D-8GBRM , the advantage being 8GB with 2 open slots and already having 8GB with 2 sticks is less load to the MC
