TW3X4G1600C9D RAM on P55 GD65

[TheFallen]

Hi im building a new i7/i5 rig and was not sure if the rams voltage i have chosen is the right voltage for my processor.

I have bought the TW3X4G1600C9D Dominator (http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/4GB-%...ered-CAS-9-DHX) ram but couldnt find what voltage the ram actually is so could thats why i came here to find an answer to if it would work.

Thanks

I looked on Corsairs website and it says it is compatable with the mobo but it says it is 1.8V but i know the max with i5/i7 processors is only 1.65V can somebody please explain if it will work?

I'm verifying the voltage on this kit. I'll post it ASAP. You could also contact SCAN and ask them to look at the kit itself. The voltage is printed on the label on the heatspreader.

Thanks. i have contacted scan but i think it was to late and will get a response tomorrow, but i will probably check myself when they arrive tomorrow. If it isnt the correct volt than do you know if it is simple to return to scan if i only check the volt?

one last thing, if it isnt the right voltagewould this kit be a suitable replacement?

The second kit is in fact a Corei5/i7 kit.

Hi Yellowbeard,

Did you manage to verify the voltage on this kit ?

I'm also looking to purchase this for a MSI P55 GD65 along with a i5 CPU, so would like confirmation of voltage before going ahead and purchasing.

Thanks,

Pav

TW3X4G1600C9D is a 1.8v part. I would not recommend it for P55 or X58 based motherboards.

Im using this ram (TW3X4G1600C9D) and a Gigabyte P55A-UD4P in a Intel i7-860 setup, does that mean because this ram is higher voltage in can damage my motherboard or anything else.

I have now realized that that this RAM(TW3X4G1600C9D) is listed in the "Dual Channel DDR3 Memory for AMD Phenom II processors" section of the corsair website and i am clearly using an Intel i7 Setup. Can i still use it or should i change?
