RAM Sticks Question

Where are you looking for RAM? Amazon? New Egg?

You should try to buy RAM specifically mentioned at the Asus website support area for your specific motherboard model. Look for something like "qualified vendor list" or words to that effect. Other stuff may work, but try to stay with that list if you can.

I'm not aware of distinctions such as "AMD RAM" versus "Intel RAM".

 

Can 2 diffrent ram sticks slow down my fps/make game lag?

Okay so i have 2 diffrent sticks of ram , on is a 4gb stick
1st stick of ram Team Elite Plus 4GB (black)

• DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

• Timing 11-11-11-28

• Cas Latency 11

• Voltage 1.5V

• =========================================================
• This is the Other stick of ram

• DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600)

• Timing 9-9-9-24

• Cas Latency 9

• Voltage 1.5V

• Do you think why this could be exactly why my fps is dropping in games? gpu is not high temp neither is cpu cpu never goes over 98% gpu when playing overwatch never goes over 60% Usage i have just ordered Dual Channel Kit HyperxFury 16gb 1600 MHZ ram. I was wondering if you guys think this could be exactly why i was having fps drops. I also had a BSOD PageFile error just a few days ago.....

(Not with my new ram) My spec's are:

• Processor: I5 4690K

• GPU : GTX 950 Super Clocked

• PSU : corsair GS600W

• ram (about too be hyperxfury 16gb) right now it is just 8 gb right now.
• I said my ram spec's for both sticks at the very top of the page

 

Installed a new RAM but doesn't show up.

Hi, I have recently bough a new RAM to upgrade my laptop,

the Laptop default spec:

• Window 10 64bit
• 4gb Nvidia gtx1650
• 8gb ddr4 ram

The issue is that I bought a new Crucial 8gb DDR4 RAM stick (same speed as a default RAM stick) in hope to upgrade my laptop to 16gb RAM, however, after installed, I check the system information and its still only showed 8gb of Physical RAM, the task manager
also only showed 8gb, however the Virtual memory showed 15.9gb. So I am not sure if its suppose to be like this since I spent money to upgrade physical RAM.

Thanks
