GA-H57M-USB3 (rev. 1.0) BIIIG Confusion
« on: January 27, 2011, 11:16:43 pm »
Hi Everyone.

Im Building New Pc.

GA-H57M-USB3 (rev. 1.0)
Intel Core i5-760 - 2,8 - 8 MB
...
Confusion buying RAM:
GA-H57M-USB3 Support 1.5V DDR3 DIMM socket rams... and if you see on gigabyte.com on Memory Support List then
you see many 1.6v RAMS have been Mentioned.
 So whats real Story?
http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3307#sp
Question 2:
also in gigabyte.com written :
To reach DDR3 2200 MHz and above, you are required to use with Intel Core i7/Core i5 CPU without HD Graphics and install a discrete graphics card.
When using Intel Core i5/Core i3/ Pentium CPU with HD Graphics, the maximum memory speed supported is 1666 MHz .

whats that mean exactly?
i only use onbord graphic sooooooo what type of ram I Can use?????
Please help what is best ram for my system?
Thankkkkkkkkks.

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

Well in a nutshell as far as you are concerned because you want to use the onboard graphics solution you will be limited to 1600 mhz for your memory.

Besides the higher speed RAM only really comes into it's own when you are overclocking and you are hardly going to notice the difference on a stock system.

Yes you could use higher rated memory modules if you fit a dedicated graphics card and disable the onboard solution. However that doesn't just mean that you can bang in some 2200 mhz RAM and it will just work at that speed. It is an overclocking situation and as such can be tricky.

The thing with the voltages is that there is not a lot of memory specifically made yet for the P67 chips and so a lot of the memory being used is really designed for the X58 instead. As long as you don't just use the XMP if it has one attached it should be fine as that would take the voltage up to 1.65v

The best graphics card is the one you can afford! It really depends on your budget and what yuou intend to use the computer for. Your motherboard should take either an AMD or a nVidia make.
