As production line tweaks occur over time, other suppliers may be able to produce more acceptable yields than they had in the past and the vendor may switch OEM suppliers.
In the initial produt cycles, everyione was using Hynix modules. A frequently used example was w/ DDR3 - 2400.
lossen up a bit more.Į) Using the exact make and model is no guarantee. manufacturer, model, speed, timings, OEM supplier.ĭ) When not matched, drop all sticks to the lowest speed / highest timings. More likely to work w/ 2100 MHz sticks than 4200Ĭ) the more things 'the same', the better your chances of success. Warranty exists ONLY when all sticks were tested together at the factory and arriuved at your door in a single package.ī) Your chances of getting them to work together decrease as speed increases. The vendor / manufacturer may decide to take them back but they are under no obligation to do so. Ī) You have no guarantee that the new sticks will 'play well with others'. If you buy 2 sticks and then by 2 sticks a year later. Recognize the risk associated with 'saving slots' for upgrades.
I my experience, sometimes CPU OCs that are stable w/ 2 sticks, are unstable with 4 sticks. More sticks = greater load on memory conrtroller.
