Hi. Can anyone tell me how to find the speed of RAM compatible with my PC? I know its a DDR3 but not how much MHz it handles. Thanks in advance

Most systems it doesn’t matter. If the board supports say 1333mhz and you install 1600mhz, it will simply throttle back to 1333mhz. However I have seen every once in a while where a board requires the specific module

The important thing I look at is the compatibility list from the boards manufacturer.

It will list every single ram stick that’s beeb tested so you can confirm it works before you buy it. This can be found on the support page of the OEM for your particular board.

Hope this helps

Krakken, you are most welcome. Just keep in mind that you make sure you read the most up to date manual and make sure you have the most up to date BIOS to ensure you’re compatible with everything on the list. Let me know if you have more questions.
