buying new ram

[deathlord]

I have an intel motherboard(http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/desktop-board-dh61ho.html)andd my graphics card is (http://www.flipkart.com/msi-nvidia-n660-gaming-2gd5-oc-geforce-gtx-660-gaming-2-gb-gddr5-graphics-card/p/itmdt7dhyx2agbr5?pid=GRCDT7DHYX2AGBR5&otracker=from-search&srno=t_11&query=nvidia+gtx+660&ref=c4f0af03-58fb-46de-8f03-7eb611fd748f)
and i dont find the ram enough for gaming.i am thinking of buying(http://www.flipkart.com/corsair-ddr3-4-gb-1-x-4gb-pc-ram-cmv4gx3m1a1600c11/p/itmdehfpjm5hgjwy?pid=RAMDEHE6XZMZHE9Z&srno=b_7&ref=c014768d-5e6f-4874-ad1a-08d0ed47fc0e)this ram.
I have done extensive research on it and it seemed pretty compatible.will it work out perfectly?

while buying a secondary RAM stick may work in your system, at least make sure that you match the frequency and timing to your current RAM exactly. However, there's no guarantee that they'll work together.

hmm.i did some research.it seems compatible but i just wanted an expert to tell me if its fine

can ram be a reason why games lag?coz my graphics card can max out on any game(bf4,crysis3.everything maxed)and then suddenly the new games(cod:aw and dying light and many others have started lagging)oh and i have an 650w pssu and one of the pwer cors from the cpu is connecting to the graphics card.dont know if this is neccesary to tell or not,but i just wanted to be sure

what ram are u using now ?

what ram are u using now ?

idk.its preinstalled in the motherboard that i have/heres the link to the motherboard
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/desktop-board-dh61ho.html

 

[momo eric]

that motherboard can handle only 1333mhz so even if u buy 1600mhz it will reduce to 1333mhz .. u can go into bios and check for ram CAS and mhz for the install ram in the computer

 

[momo eric]

if u wanna upgrade the ram with the pre-existing 1 then both the CAS and frequency of the ram modules must match , if they dont then u will see only blue screen of death

im no computer geek.i belive i have two choices
do that overclock thing or get a ram with 1333mhz.
is overclocking simple and has no risk?
do i get a 1333htz ram?

can you recommend me a good ram for the cpu then?

 

[momo eric]

first what is the current value (gb) of ram u are using ?
are u going to use ur old ram along with the new 1 both at same time or are u going to use the new ram which u will be buying and throw away or keep the old 1 aside ?

4gb ram.preinstalled in the motherboard.
going to use both at the same time
(UNDER MEMORY IN CPU-Z)
cas latency-9 clocks,ras to cas delay-9 clocks,ras precharge-9 clocks,cycletime-24 clocks

 

[momo eric]

umm then u will have to buy similar product ... let me look at the online retailer for u and suggest u 1

 

[momo eric]

what DRAM frequency does it say ?

wait.i checked in cpuz under the bar 'SPD' and found out my current ram
module size-4096 Mbytes
max bandwidth-pc3-10700 (667 mhz)
manufacturer-transcend information
part number-JM1333KLN-4G
serial number-0009A0F9
its the same as this-(http://www.flipkart.com/transcend-ddr3-1333-ddr3-4-gb-pc-dram-jm1333kln-4g/p/itmd2rypzczsv8e7)
do i buy this itself?

[momo eric]

ha!its the exact same thing thats there in the pc as cpuz says,is this the best choice or do i check something costlier?

 

[momo eric]

if u use different product / brand , there is no guarantee that they will be compatible , so better use same product to avoid issues

alrighty sir,buying it now.
you can recommend everyone to use cpuz in order to avoid hassles!
and thanks so much again,buying the ram now
