nikita_nomad Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 Hi guys, a question for experts. So I'm changing my mobo in order to be able to add ram, as my current one only supports 16gb, so I'm getting a different one to add another 16gb. I run i7-4770 at the moment and 2 sticks of 8gb 1600-cl11-1.5v. Should I look for exactly the same config for new ram? I found similar ones on amazon with exception of volts, they're 1.35 instead of 1.5v. Does it even matter? And also my new mobo will have xmp option. Should I have it on or off? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk
BitMaster Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 1.5v is likely DDR3 ( what your System runs on ) but the 1.35v is a DDR4 value and that RAM will not fit into your system. Best is to go to a local shop, friend etc. that can guide you. Replacing that board might be not the best idea, rather think of board+cpu+ram then, makes far more sense if you can afford it.

Replied in another thread ) and thanks for advice, I also think I have to stick with 1.5vSent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk
