tusken_raider Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hi all, This is my first ever build so I'm looking for an easy setup. My main worry is the RAM to go with my motherboard. Which of these RAM will work best with the P5K Lifestyle mobo(dont't worry bout prices. They're expensive here but it's just to find out which will work)? TWIN2X2048-6400C4 TWIN2X2048-6400 Twin2X2048-6400C5DHX They say, for example CL5(5-5-5-12) whereas the corsair comaptibility checker would say C5(5-5-5-12), without the "L". Is the RAM different, or is it just a different naming convention. If none of the RAM above is compatible with this board, can you point to some that is please. I'm so new to this. Thanks in advance. I'm sure your sick of questions like these and was wary of posting, but it had to be done. Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tusken_raider Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 I have been looking at Corsair RAM on a website... http://www.ebuyer.com/product/111439 It's states it as being "CL4" whereas the compatibility chart on Corsairs' site states "C4". Are these the one and the same RAM? Thanks for your help. Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Example: TWIN2X2048-6400C4 is the part number. C4 denotes the following timings: CAS Latency (tCL): 4 <--- CL4 RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 4 Row Precharge (tRP): 4 Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 12 Source: Corsair XMS Qualification and Testing Information Short answer: yes.
