Using AMD ram into INTEL cpu

[renzoken84]

Hello im using asus mobo p7h55-m le with intel i7 870 2.93ghz and i want to buy an (AMD 8GB 1333MHZ DDR3 RAM) can the ram fit with my intel cpu? because the ram "only for amd" as it said. pls help ima little bit confuse about this. tq for help.

It just marketing. As long as the ram is 1.65v or below it will work. Some DDR3 ram was higher voltage than Intel CPU allowed.

ty for quick respawn AND BEST SOLUTION!!

one more question. if i using that 8gb ram can i use one more ram with 4gb 1333mhz. the different only the ram between 8gb and 4 gb or it only can be use same 8gb ? sorry bad english.

The "AMD" labeling may be principally a marketing gimmick, but there might be a technical reason also.

Some AMD labeled memory does NOT work when attempting to run under an Intel based system.

What is the make and model (part number) of the "AMD" 8 GB DDR3 module? We'll try to very its compatibility with the i7-870 CPU.

so the answer is cannot?

 

[brispuss]

The AMD 8 GB module might be compatible. So, what is the make and model of the AMD 8 GB DDR3 module, please? We need this detailed information to check to see if this memory module is compatible.

THE DETAIL FOR THE AMD RAM.
CAPACITY: 8GB
PINS: 240
FORM FACTOR : DIMM
SPEED :1333MHZ
MEMORY SPECIFICATION : PC3 - 10600
TECHNOLOGY: DDR3 RAM NON-EC
SUPPLY VOLTAGE : 1.5V

This the only detail i can get.

 

[brispuss]

Thanks, but this is not quite enough detail. Is there a website with a photo of this module?

 

[iamacow]

You can use 2 different size dimm 4 and 8. But it will be run at the slowest speeds to make it compatible. But really any DDR3 memory below 1.65v will work. The rest is strictly marketing for the most part. But AMD is one that has a hard time running at faster speeds, not Intel. So it wouldn't matter using the memory in a Intel system.

here the website i was check it on. http://www.lazada.com.my/8gb-ddr3-pc3-10600-1333mhz-desktop-pc-dimm-memory-ram-240-pins-foramd-system-9140480.html?ff=1

 

[brispuss]

Thanks for the web link.

The module shown at the website uses memory chips with architecture that is not compatible with the Intel i7-870. In other words this module will not work in your Intel system. This module will however work in an AMD system where the modules memory chip architecture is recognized and compatible.

so that mean i have to cancel the order... and not compatible with my intel cpu. thanks for the help bro.

 

[brispuss]

Yes. The order should be cancelled.

If you are wanting help selecting memory for your system, then let us know.

For future reference, it is usually advisable to get memory in dual channel kits (with modules being the same capacity) where the modules have been tested for compatibility with each other. And maximum memory bandwidth then becomes available to the system in dual channel mode.

Trying to match individual memory modules (not from a dual channel kit) can be a problem due to variances in module characteristics.

Also, the P7H55M-LE together with the i7-780 only supports up to 4 GB memory modules anyway. So 8 GB modules will not work.

So, suggest looking at getting a 2 x 4 GB dual channel kit in the future.

noted and ty for the help.

....oh well...some people just don't want to listen... 15 years of computer building the only system I ever had a issue with memory was a DFI motherboard that didn't like the extra voltage.

 

[brispuss]

Each situation has to be judged on its on merits.

In this case here, the issue is to do with x4 memory chips being used on the module. The Intel memory controller does not support x4 memory chip architecture, it only supports x8 and x16 architectures. Therefore the module with x4 memory chips will not work under the Intel based system.

It has nothing to do with memory voltage here in this case.
