Ram Latency differnce
Ram Latency differnce
If the DRAM model is newer, it might not work because most current DRAM uses high-density memory chips, while older ones required the smaller socket 1366 designs. When issues arise, check the original GSkill Ripjaws sticks instead of the newer versions (X or Z lines, both high density).
Isn't it better to focus on the right components rather than chasing specific mobos and CPUs that rarely matter?

I didn't ask for my G.skill RAM to be DDR 3 1333, but it's G.skill DDR 3 1866 as recommended. The motherboard supports this configuration. There are 4 x 240-pin DDR3 DIMM slots, each holding up to 4GB (maximum 16GB per slot). I can use Triple channel support for DDR3 speeds of 1066/1333/1600 MHz. Be careful with DIMMs that require more than 1.65V; they could harm the CPU. I made a mistake and ordered the wrong RAM. I'm having trouble reaching the support team at Shuttle or GSkill.
