Faulty RAM, reccomendations for upgrade/replace please?

[bwefc1878]

Basically I got a new PC with faulty RAM and after I asked them to replace it, they told me it was fine.
I've decided to just replace it myself, any suggestions on what sort of thing I should look for(price range upto about £120)
I'll post my computer spec later.

Give us your make and model of your motherboard. Link us and we will help.

As a side note, never buy from them again. You and I both know it is faulty RAM or that they didn't set the voltage correctly in the BIOS.

Did you ever run Memtest per stick?

Nope I never ran a memtest per stick
I'll have to post the PC spec in about 30 mins as I've been busy all day

would this RAM work on that CPU and would the PSU be sufficient?

 

[Route44]

That RAM won't work because it is tri-channel and only Intel boards are designed for trichannel memory. You have an AMD board.

By the way, your PSU is more than sufficient.

so what do you suggest?

As per Asus' Qualified Vendor List for memory for your motherboard:

G.Skill - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...yMark=False&IsFeedbackTab=true#scrollFullInfo

G.Skill makes really good memory. Don't let the poor ratings on Newegg throw you off. The reasons some gave it less than 5 eggs are ludicrous.

*** There are some other options. I am sure you can find this G.Skill in the U.K.

Maybe thinking of goingfor 2x4 gb

Thisshould work shouldn't it (and it's gskill)

 

[Route44]

Well I do know that the 2 gig series of the same product is on the Qualified Vendors List with same timings and voltage.

Ah good so I should go for that then?
