GA-P55A-UD3 and F3-12800CL9Q-16GBXM

Hi, I have GA-P55A-UD3 motherboard + i5 760 cpu running with 4 sticks of 2GB Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL.

To make the system stable with these four sticks, I activated XMP and changed the dram voltage to 1.6v in bios.

Now I want to make a upgrade to 16GB and I want to use some sticks with lower voltage, to make cpu cooler.

I looked in newegg and found these two options:

Sniper F3-12800CL9Q-16GBSR1 (4GB x 4)

Ripjaws x F3-12800CL9Q-16GBXM (4GB x 4)
http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=417

Both have the same price and the same specification (DDR 3 1600, 1.35v, CAS 9-9-9-24-2N), except that GA-p55A-UD3 is listed only in Sniper ?s compatibility list.

But I prefer the Ripjaws design.

So, these are the questions:
Is the Ripjaws x F3-12800CL9Q-16GBXM compatible with GA-p55a-Ud3?
What Dram Voltage will I have to set to get a solid system with these new 4 sticks, using XMP?
Is this configuration valid for Sniper too?

Thanks!

Do you have the latest BIOS? Either set should work fine under XMP on your mobo with stock voltage. Of the two (both of which are great sets) I'm partial to the Snipers as I think they OC a bit better, but that can also be attributed to individual sets of sticks. Have used both and both are very good, think you'd be happy with either set

Yes, my bios is the latest (F11).
Thanks for your help, Tradesman!

No problem, let us know how you like the sticks when you get them

[hdbalbi]

Ok!
After I buy the sticks and make some tests i will let you know if the system is ok.
Thanks again, Tradesman!

No problemo! Have a good 1 ! and we'll be waiting to hear what you think of 'em

Hi!
I bought a Sniper F3-12800CL9Q-16GBSR1 (4GB x 4). Just turned on XMP in BIOS.
The 4 sticks passed Mentest86+ five times without problems.
The DRAM voltage was automatically adjusted to 1.42v.
Is this a problem considering that the specified memory voltage is 1.35V ?
Thank you,
Helga

Nope, should be fine, some motherboards require a slightly higher voltage.
