  • Need some last minute advice before I buy.

    Hey guys,

    I'm about to buy some 2 sticks of F3-10666CL7D-8GBXH for my ASUS M4A87TD (with Phenom II X4 965). It's a dated PC now but the RAM for it is cheap & I wount be able to buy a new one for another year at least. I'm actually quite happy with it, it runs all the new stuff fairly well, including Crysis2.

    The only thing is I don't know if this ram is compatible work. The mobo manual only lists the following Gskill 7-7-7 1.5v as being compatible:

    F3-10666CL7T-6GBPK 7-7-7-18 (1.5-1.6v)
    F3-10666CL7D-4GBPI 7-7-7-21
    F3-10666CL7D-4GBRH 7-7-7-21


    Also, I currently have 2 Slots of OCZ OCZ3G1600LV4GK 7-7-7-24 1.65v. Will I still be able to use these in Slots 2 & 4 or is it better to buy 4 of the Gskill DIMMS ?

    PC is used almost exclusively for gaming with heavy graphics at 1920x1200.

    Why not consider this set:

    Since this is a gaming comp, it's all about speed, so go with higher frequency memory.
    Best to run with only two (versus 4) dimms populated, less stress on the IMC.
    Also, it's not advisable to run unmatched sets, let alone unmatched brands of memory.

      The OCZ memory requires a higher voltage. You will want something like this:
