DDR3 1600MHz on Asus P5G41TM-LX3

[gyanbhartip]

Hey guys my question is:-

Can I install G.SKILL RipjawsX 4gb ddr3 1600 MHz on my Asus P5G41TM-LX3?



My processor is Intel Pentium Dual Core E5400.

No. It will not.For that you need a mobo which support DDR3 1600.Your Mobo supports only upto 1333 (O.C).Refer below:

ASUS - Motherboards- ASUS P5G41T-M LX3

 

[sumonpathak]

it will run at 1333

 

[jackal_79]

it will run at 1333

Even if the mobo supports on 1333 Mhz (O.C) ?

 

[sumonpathak]

ya...it will generally down clock..

 

[The Incinerator]

Better to get Corsair Value Select.

 

[sumonpathak]

well..if an upgrade is on the cards its better to take 1600..

 

[The Incinerator]

Yes ...if you are gonna upgrade better get 1600....and ignore my Value Select suggestion.

actually someone gifted me those 2 sticks of G.SKILL RIPJAWSX 4gb 1600MHz ddr3.

And i am thinking of installing it on my Asus P5G41TM-LX3(as i think it would run under-clocked on 1333MHz); but to prevent any damage i thought of taking precious suggestions of you guys.

Now kindly tell me will it work on my mobo?

 

[sumonpathak]

it will work...am running a setup similar to that

 

[gyanbhartip]

it will work...am running a setup similar to that

Is it really not going to do any harm to my moterboard or ram


and can you please give details about the setup you mentioned above

 

[sumonpathak]

well....i was not able to kill my setup
and i am known for that

Which processor do you have ??

G41 may run 1600 MHz if processor can reach such FSB value , off course when overclocking

i couldn't get you

I have got Intel Pentium Dual Core E5400 20%OC from the bios

Then their might be a chance of running the Ram @ 1600 MHz speed. Since you have experience in overclocking, I think you already know about the base clock. Base Clock Speed X Ram Multiplier = Ram Speed. In your case, the desired speed is DDR 800 which is equivalent to 1600 MHz. So, check the Base clock value in BIOS.

Chances are slim as far as I can see.

Trying for FSB of 1600 MHz for RAM would result in processor too hitting that mark and in case of E5400, it would mean an effective OC of 100%, ie 5.4GHz

I think better to eye for a MAX 1333 MHz with lower latency as the RAMs mentioned here for OC can handle lower latency when running 1333 MHz

Running processor @ 1333 Mhz FSB would require a good cooler and PSU also. (effective clock speed 4.4 GHz)

^^ Buddy, I don't think you understood a bit what I've said. For running Ram @ 800 MHz DDR speed, you don't need to set the FSB to 1600 MHz.
If F is the FSB Speed and M is the Ram Multiplier Value then you have to set their values according to the given equation.
F X M = 800

Intel use Quad Pump FSB, so 200 MHz Base clock speed means the effective speed is 800 MHz. The CPU Multiplier for E5400 is 13.5 (200X13.5 = 2700). The main problem with these older motherboards is that they don't support Intel XMP profile and the Ram speed is needed to set manually and that limits going beyond 1333 MHz speed for the Ram.

gyanbhartip, could you provide the memory or DRAM settings available in the BIOS?

What i can see from my G41, RAM and processor FSB is linked, changing one effects another one straight

 

[gyanbhartip]

hey guys i don't really need the ram to run at exactly 1600MHz; i just want my pc to boot and run stably, let it run on 1066MHz or 1333MHz.

Then just plug it and enjoy.
