Hello all!
I come here after almost a week or more of my own personal research to try find the question to my answer, however difficult it may be.
Basically I have a much much older system. It was running beautifully fulfilling all my needs for all those years until a couple of sticks died. So basically I'm on only 4 gig's of ram (yeah I'm one of those 50 million chrome tab peoples so life is hard atm aha).
After it died I went out to buy some new DDR3 ram, seeing there where plenty of options available I went with some Kingston (KVR16N11/4) sticks that matched all the compatibility requirements of my motherboard. Assuming ram would be the easiest part to replace I went ahead installed the sticks only to be greeted with no post. I went through all the troubleshooting options, updated my bios etc, still no post, long story short, I returned them (luckily).
So now I'm out and about doing even further research to absolutely try and make sure the next set of sticks I get work. Before people flame me for getting a new system, I am currently in the process of saving money to get a sweet new pc . Unfortunately I don't have cash to splash.
I have a ASUS Rampage III Formula with a Intel core i7 950. Currently running 2x (KVR1333D3N9/2G) which have lasted since my pc's birth "knocks on wood".
The ram that I'm really keen on having researched which also my local pc stores have are these, but I don't know enough to be certain.
I've come across a lot of similar g skill sticks with slight variations in the model for example 8gbrl instead of 8gbxl. Upon research couldn't find any info on difference. I've also read g.skill is a really good brand, apparently Kingston was bad, I honestly thought they where really good.
So I've come here as a last resort hoping I can get some sound advice. Any information at all is appreciated. Please Obiwan Tomoby, your my only hope .
Thank you
