Mobo: GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 775 - GA-G41M-Combo (rev. 1.3)
Possible upgrade: Newegg.com - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Desktop Memory Model F3-8500CL7D-8GBRL
Double check this and make sure these work together. Kind of a noob question, but its 2 AM and I'm too tired to deal with my friend who is getting this bitching at me saying they don't work together lol.
that mobo has 2 DDR3 ports on it...so i don't see any reason why it wouldn't work
Yeah they're compatible. The memory info on the motherboard states that it supports up to 1333MHz of 8GB DDR3 RAM (and it also supports your 1066MHz sticks).
Yeah, the guys a dumbass. Linked him to the thread and he was like "oh, okay." lol. Didn't even end up buyign that ram, went with 1333;
Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT51264BA1339
god damnit ddr3 ram is cheap
but is it worth upgrading mobo+cpu for?
LOL.. Mang that's cheap
They fit.
Memory is 1066 and that mobo supports it.
Depends on how much ram you have atm / how old your mobo & cpu are.Originally Posted by EliteGM
I would have gotten 16GB for him but the fail mobo he uses as 2 ddr3 slots and 2 ddr2 slots. Can't mix and match them lol.
ah i saw it on the website. weird :p but i guess that's just because it's an "old" socket 775
Processor is a core 2 duo (1.86ghz)
As others have already said, yes it will work fine. But don't try to overclock the RAM, i don't think that mobo can take voltages any higher than 1.5V which it is already running at.
well it says its made to be able to OC to run 1333 RAM, but it would prob burn out the board faster, so i wouldnt do it
He might not be able to overclock the RAM without increasing the voltage, and since that RAM already uses the highest supported voltage, if the voltage increases it will either damage something or it simply won't work.
