What RAM do you guys upgrade this PC with? Crucial? Kingston? Do it take 240 pin? Yes! I'm trying to get into PC gaming.

Mine came with Kingston brand memory so I picked up this:Kingston Technology HyperX Blu 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM KHX1333C9D3B1/4GIt was different than the other modules since it has that blue heat sink cover but it works perfect. Basically any DIMM, DDR3, 1333mhz, non eec, cl9 will do and this pc maxes out at 16gb so only a 4gb unit is needed. Good luck!

You can't go wrong with Kingston. You won't know how many pins until you take the original out. I never heard of 240 pins.

Mine came full of ram but not a good gaming pc. It won't accept any high end graphics cards.

Yes. And keep the timing tight thats where you get the performance. I run a Maximus vi hero Intel 4770k, Kingston 2400Hz and time it down to 1866Hz. Best memory sticks I ever had so far

Fredrick, as others have stated, it's server RAM. I had to call the company in order to get the correct one. The one Kingston suggested in place of the wrong one (*GB DDR2 SDRAM) is this one: 8GB (2X4GB) NEMIX RAM Memory DDR2 667MHz PC2-5300 Desktop DIMM 240 PIN

It depends on your motherboard. It will need to support 32gb of memory and it will have to have 4 available slots to install the ram. If you dot have the documentation from your motherboard you can either look it up or check crucial.com to find what options you have regarding ram. A side note: the price of ram is really inflated as of writtig this so id hold off if possible. 32gb is a ton of ram for even the most demanding user. 8-16gb is enough for high end gaming. Unless youre a super hardcore power user you shouldt need 32gb...and for as much as it costs i wouldnt suggest it to 95% of users. It depends on your motherboard.

I can't speak to your cpu/mobo combination and how far you can push this RAM, but I'm running this RAM in a Gigabyte MATX mobo with an AMD 6300, at 8-8-8-24 on 1.5v at 1600MHz. No stability problems or heat issues. In fact, the RAM only gets mildly above room temp. I suspect with a little tweaking, I could easily push this up to 1866MHz or perhaps beyond. That said, Conrad is right in that it's rated for higher than what you've spec'd out, so I doubt you'd have any trouble. I just wish I'd bought 4 sticks (16gb) when it was still $65 a pair (8gb) instead of $85!

Yes, this should work for you. your motherboard supports 240 pin ram and would like either 2 or 4 sticks of ram at a time. I would be careful because these ram sticks are rated for 1866ghz and your mobo is only rated for 1600. When these stick plug in, I believe they are set for 1600ghz and must overclocked to reach the maximum 1866. I hope i was helpful!

Your Mobo comes with a list of compatible ram, and you can also research this on the vendor of your mobo's website or on Kingstons Website.

When i doubt check with the manufacturers website.They always list memory that will work.This memory is faster than the motherboard.It even costs more than the motherboard.Might be time to upgrade the motherboard.

Best place for your answer is www.crucial.com and fill in the boxes as to Make, Model #, et al and Crucial will tell you if it will work. I've always used them when purchasing ram.

No idea. Best bet would be to go to Crucial.com and look up your computer. They also have a downloadable utility that will detect what you have and match it with the proper memory. Kingston's web site may also be able to help you.

I have not been able to verify for certain , but I would email kingston to be sure. It may be compatible, but I cannot tell you if it will be as speedy as for a newer pc . Not certain , sorry.

Should work as Akshay said. But to be sure download the free system scanner from crucial.com, that's what I did and just copied and pasted the ram type and compared prices here on amazon.

it REALLY depends on your mother board, and of course yir case, but the mobo is the first consideration. You might check pcpartspicker and start with your mobo, then list compatible ram, and see if these are in the list. But that assumes this ram is in the overall ram list to begin with. That aite is an invaluable resource, regardless. Cheers!

For all people that need info about crucial ram memories, if it will work with this o that computer, I said always the same; go to crucial web site and then find your computer name and model, there are many many models of that computer.- Find yours, and they will said you which memory selection must be take.- How much faster will it make, I don't know, only select the more GB that crucial recomend for your PC.-

Do not think so, but Crucial has a very good RAM compatibility tool on their site . use that to find your RAM.

I used a pair of "Kingston HyperX XMP Blu Red Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Desktop Memory Model KHX16C10B1RK2/16X" and it works for my configuration. I will believe Corsair 16GB 1600 memory will work too. Normally, you will want to MB compability list of vendors when you try to use O'C' memory beyond 1600 speed. -R

If your motherboard supports 240-Pin DDR3 RAM, then this memory sticks should work.
