    Corsair TW3X4G1600C9D G and MSI p55 GD65

    Is this memory compatible with this chipset at 1600mhz? I cannot get it to run above 1333mhz. Also is it 1.8v for 1600?

    Thanks

    At 1600mhz, no. The memory is rated for 1600 at 1.8v so you'd need to overvolt your memory past the recommended point for your CPU IMC to get 1600.

    Cheers looks like I have bought the wrong memory then will have to RMA it.

    Look here under the MEMORY tab at the Intel Memory Solutions option. This shows the appropriate memory for Core i7 and Core i5 rigs.

    I have one 2gb stick - CM3X2048-1333C9DHX ver 3.1 1.7v that will not work at all in my P7P55D

    any Idea what could be the problem, I have tried with the correct voltage and still no use

    Check the manual and make sure you are using the correct memory slot or slots.

    You do realise that the max RAM voltage you should be running with i5/7 is 1.65v - anything higher can damage your memory controller.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Just a warning for you Yellowbeard
    Play.com have currently got Corsair TW3X4G1600C9D with a big saving, and listed as 1.5v I almost put an order in before I thought to check here
    But you may get a few people wanting to know why their new low voltage memory will not run at the listed speed.

    Re: Corsair TW3X4G1600C9D G and MSI p55 GD65

    must admit I'm a bit confused over memory atm, it's not helped by thing like this bit-tech overclocking artical
    http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cpu...-core-i5-750/1
    They used this corsair dominator 1600mhz memory and ran it at only 1.65v most of the time, only pushing the voltage higher to break 200mhz base clock (BCLK)

    Ahh I may and play may have got it mixed up with CMD4GX3M2A1600C8 which is 1.65v
