Memory Question!

by adze • 26 Mar 2013, 22:27 • Journals
Hello!

I would like to buy new ddr3 kits to my motherboard, but on the memory support list there are only few. My question is if I place a memory with higher frequency will the motherboard automaticly relegate to the supported frequency? Or the memory simply won't be recognized by the windows?
Other question? If I place a memory from another brand which is not on the support list what's gonna happen?

Why aren't you simply buying a proper new PC? You're buying all these parts and making journals for them but instead just get a proper system, make things much easier for yourself :P

Answer to questions: No, It will but might not work properly, shouldn't matter much it's just the brand aslong as hardware specs are same

same freq of both ddr3 gives a normal performance, diff freq wouldnt cause any probs afaik just some performance loss or smthn like dat, i was lucky that i bought the same freq of ddr3, and i wasnt even watching wich freq was the ram stick :P
