Ram for a i5-7500

[OwenTheGamer]

What ram will work for the i5-7500 because it has to be 1.35v and the speed has to be 2400 or lower. I did talk to support and they had no answers.

Your motherboard manual will tell you what ram is compatible with your motherboard (don't worry about the cpu cpu). Generally any ddr4 2133 or 2400 will work just fine.
If you buy ram which is faster than supported it will just run at a lower speed.

This stuff is pretty good:

It should run fine in your motherboard.

But is there any 1.35v ram

Sure there is, but you can use 1.2v ram like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-2400MHz-PC4-19200-Memory/dp/B00S51XHUQ/
1.2v is the standard. Higher voltages are used for overclocking.


Here is some 1.35v ram. It too will work in your system.

But I recommend the 1.2v ram unless you plan to overclock.

You need to tell us what motherboard you have. Some are DDR3, some are DDR4. If it's the former, you need to get DDR3L, which is 1.35V. If it's the latter, then any DDR4 will be 1.35V or lower.

So what my cpu says for ram voltage will just become 1,2v without harm and my mobo is Gigabyte GA-Z270-HD3P

 

[TJ Hooker]

Literally any DDR4 will be fine. All of it will be 1.35V or less anyway, and your motherboard and CPU will work just fine with RAM that's faster than 2400 MHz.

[OwenTheGamer]

OK Thanks for the help. Both of you

 

[OwenTheGamer]

And does my cpu say 1.35v because its higher end and they want you to use higher end ram like corsair dominator

 

[TJ Hooker]

1.35V is just the max memory voltage your CPU is rated for. It mostly applies to people using DDR3, as it typically operates at 1.5V, hence the need to get DDR3L (1.35V) in that case. Some DDR4 is rated for 1.35V as well, typically high speed kits.
