hi, I've got some mushkin pc3 12800 ram installed, 2×2 GB modules 1.5 V. This make it rather hard to find in the UK and I was wondering is there any issues with installing a different brand and more particularly a different voltage.
Incidentally I'm running a i5 processor which is not unlocked, so even though my existing RAM is rated at 1600, the maximum I can get is 1333 speed.
Does it matter if my new RAM is only rated for 1333? or should I get the 1600 speed.
I hope I making sense, just wondered if there's anything I should know before upgrading, also I notice there is some rather cheap RAM without heatsinks, is that okay all rubbish. I've got no plans to overclocked the RAM.
Many thanks
