Hey
Got sick of random low memory warnings and decided to grab an extra 8GB of RAM... Found what I *thought* was the same model as my original pair (It's been so many years....gotta love Sandy Bridge )..
Turns out my original pair was G.Skill F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR2 and I bought G.Skill F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR. From what I can see the only spec difference is the originals run at 1.25v and the new ones run at 1.5v.
What I'm wondering is if this is going to cause issues at all? As it stands my system has decided to drop them to 1333 rather than 1600 for some reason, gonna look into that in a second. I was trying to make sure I had a matching 4 set so speed wasn't affected (gaming system) seems like I may have stuffed that up (been one of those months >_<).
Worth attempting a return/biting the bullet and grabbing 2x8gb or not an issue at all really?
Any help would be greatly appreciated ^_^
Thanks
