Hi, I'm wanting to add some more memory to my system using an MSI P55-GD85 motherboard. It's a dual channel memory motherboard and the 4gb pair I originally bought for the system is no longer available. This 8gb set seems to be the most comparable however I noticed it's listed running at a different voltage. 1.5V versus the 1.65V of the original set. Is that going to have any impact on performance? Or does that not matter at all? I don't usually mess with memory voltage and timing and don't know too much about it.
And my second question is about the timings. They're both supposed to run at the same timings (7-7-7-24). However, when I installed the original set I just assumed it would run at the listed timing specs and didn't even bother checking it when I installed it. But when I made the decision to add more RAM, I went back and checked the timings for my original set and was surprised to see it was running at 9-9-9-24. I can modify the timings in the bios. Do I just go in and manually do that or is there a particular reason why it's not running at the timings it's listed for? Thanks for any help!
