[ozzlvlosis]

I built a PC a few years back. I have a P8P67 Deluxe Motherboard and I'm looking to upgrade the ram. As of right now I have (4) 4 GIG Corsair Vengeance

Corsair Vengeance Blue 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CML16GX3M4A1600C9B)]

in but i'm looking to have (4) 8 Gig sticks of ram. Are there specific ones I need? How do I know whats compatible?

Here is also what I have in there:


Case: CoolerMaster 922
Processor: i7 2600k
Video: NVIDIA GTX 570
Power Supply: Corsair Pro HX850

I'd look at the 4x8GB GSkill Ripjaws X 1600/9

Just get the new Corsair Vengeance Pro it should work just like your current stuff does. They have 32GB kits or you can get 2 16GB kits.

Not a good idea to get two sets and expect them to play together, the 32GB sets tend to cost a little more than 2 16GB sets for a reason, it takes time to test and get 4 sticks together that all play together, also XMP is programmed by the packaged set and the settings for 16GB vs 32GB sets vary quite a bit, i.e. 2 8GB sticks of 2133 might need a tRFC (advanced timing) of 208 while the 4stick set (32GB) might require a tRFC of 278

Thanks guys. I agree it's not good to mix and match. I've decided to just stick with larger Corsair Vengeance.
