9Tek Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hello All, Currently I have the following memory installed in my motherboard: CMX8GX3M4B1333C9 - DDR3-1333 (XMS3-9-9-9-24*1.5v) Dual Channel I was wondering what possible benefits will there be if I install the following memory modules: CMD8GX3M4A1333C7 - DDR3-1333 (Dominator-7-7-7-20*1.65v) Dual Channel Thanks, 9Tek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wired Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Keep in mind that you never want to mix memory from different kits, even if they're the same part number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9Tek Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Hi, I never do mix memory from different kits.....I only install each RAM module from the same kit onto my motherboard. It's just that I have a spare BEMP Dominator kit and was thinking of changing it over and not mixing them. Thanks 9Tek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 5, 2012 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 5, 2012 With this platform ( I have the same CPU) I can tell you the difference between Cas 7 and Cas 9 is about 400 MBps in memory bandwidth but it can vary with the Make of MB and the CPU you use. In real world; would you see the difference? most likely not, maybe in a memory bench mark you would notice it. I have found adding more memory in my case I went from an 8 Gig set running at Cas 7 to a 16 Gig set running at Cas 8 at DDR1333 (CMP16GX3M4A1600C9) the memory performance is almost the same in memory bench marks slightly faster with the Cas 7 part but in BF3 I get better scores with 16 Gig of memory and in the Windows Experience I get 7.8 where as I had 7.4 with with our Cas 7 modules of 8 Gig. Not to tout the Windows experience as I have stated in many posts; it is not suggested to go by the windows experience for a memory bench mark as it is not a memory benchmark. It is a reference and a valuable tool to evaluate over all system performance. Hope that helps you here. So in short with a 64 Bit O.S. more memory; even with slower timings on the memory shows over all better system performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
