Title: GA-H55M-S2H Will 8gb(2x4gb) of G.SKILL RIPJAWS WORK?
Post by: VRS on November 10, 2010, 03:56:16 pm

Hi Peeps

Before i go home tonight and fit this RAM, i wanted to know about the above question?

Am i likely to get problems?

I have brought 2 4gb g.skill ripjaws ddr3-1333 pc3-10666  - model f3-10666cl9s-4gbrl

i have an gigabyte ga-h55m-s2h rev 1.1 i think am doing this off memory as im at work but im sure im right ;-)

coolermaster 850w psu

asus en8800 ultra 768mb

various sata hdds and sata dvdrw

intel i3 530 2.93

now it currently has a 2gb and 1 gb module (mixed) of ddr3 1066 but its

Ebuyer Extra Value Desktop PC, Core i3-530 2.93GHz, 3GB RAM, 500GB HDD, DVDRW, No Operating System so i want better ram. Made by Zoostorm.

Im not sure what bios revision it has whether its stock(or F5, sorry ill confirm later if there is problems) or whether i got round to loading F7. Do you think this RAM will boot or have issues? I did check the RAM list on gigas site but it wasnt listed directly but there were 2gb models listed as tested so thought i should be ok?

Will all the voltages need to be changed or can they be left on auto? i know only time will tell but i just wondered if anyone could pre-empt what could be a pain the ass or just plain sailing.

anything else you need just should ill be home soon :)

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.
I am afraid there are too many variables in your statement to have any chance of accurately predicting the chances of success.I would just advise trying them and see if they work. If not post the problems and we will see if we can help you sort them out.

To be honest you are not going to notice a great deal of difference on booting up and with a  lot of programs that don't use a lot of memory but if you try loading several programs, especialy memory hungry ones then you should see the difference. The other time it helps a lot is if you are doing something memory intensive like rendering or video editing. Not to mention "bragging rights" of course. ;D
