Hi guys, appreciate the help confirming this:
Just to make sure I'm not missing something -
A friend is building his first PC and has ordered this for RAM:
Kingston 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM (kit 2x4Gb)HyperX
His first choice mobo was unavailable so another was recommended but looked unable to handle the RAM so he's looking at going the next step up. Is it necessary?
Mobo 1 Memory Spec. -
4 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 32 GB of system memory
Dual channel memory architecture
Support for DDR3 1333/1066/800 MHz memory modules
Support for non-ECC memory modules
Support for Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) memory modules
Mobo 2 Memory Spec. -
4 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 32 GB of system memory
Dual Channel memory architecture.
Support for DDR3 2133/1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz memory modules
Support for non-ECC memory modules
Support for Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) memory modules
I assume the 1600 RAM wont operate at full capacity (or at all) on Mobo 1.
Is that correct?
Thanks.
