CMP6GX3M3A1600C8 + P6T + i7 950

[Tequila_Burp]

Last week i went to usa and bought a CMP6GX3M3A1600C8 + P6T + i7 950 from the same store. The tech guy told that the 3 were compatible. Now that i went back to my house =D couldnt find any source confirming that these corsair + p6t + i7 950 will run stable. As soon as i buy the rest of the computer i will do a memory test. However, I will like to hear any advise before i run into any trouble. Should i try to get a compatible ram for my mobo? try to get a compatible mobo for the ram xD, or stay with both and make a test.

 

btw am a novice building pc. i only have experience with my old PC.

The CMP6GX3M3A1600C8 is approved for the i7 series CPUs so it should work if your Asus mobo is built properly.

The Intel i7-9xx series CPUs only officially support RAM frequencies up to 1066 MHz. so you'll need to manually set BIOS options for greater RAM speed operation.

Hi am writing from my new PC =)

I choose X.M.P profile. It says profile #1.

However i saw DRAM Bus Voltage at 1.66 by default. Isn't that dangerous =(?

XMP profiles typically up the RAM voltage so that it can run at a higher frequency. There is no problem running the RAM you have at that voltage.
