Hi everyone
I'm thinking of upgrading to ivy, and have got following in mind:
core i5 3570k
Asus P8Z77-M
Now someone in my place gave me following ram he doesn't need:
KHX1600C9D3K3/12GX (Edit: 3 Sticks à 4GB) 1.65V
Thing is, these are 1.65V, and since already sandy bridge only supported max. 1.5V I surfed to Asus Page and checked the Qualified Vendor List (http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1155/P8Z77-M/P8Z77-M-QVL.pdf)
Thing is, they list KHX1600c9d3k3/12gx(XMP) as working. My Question: Nowhere on my RAM does it say (XMP), is this relevant / are those different RAM. And why does Asus list these RAMs even though they are 1.65V? If XMP should be irrelevant, would I run a risk using these 1.65V or should I just spend my 70$ for 2x4GB 1.25V GSkill or something?
Thanks for the help!
