Msi GT60 2OC 24US Ram Upgrade

[aselwyn1]

hello

 

i have a msi gt60 that i want to upgrade it currently has 3 4gb dimms and a free slot from looking around on some websites like the Kingston ram finder and corsairs site kinda differ in terms of the voltage required 1 says 1.35 and the other shows 1.5. the msi website does not mention the voltage but does show its DDR3 1600MHZ 

 

i was looking at either http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0076W9Q5A/ref=asc_df_B0076W9Q5A3952868 or http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0076W9Q5A/ref=asc_df_B0076W9Q5A3952868 or maybe http://www.ncix.com/detail/kingston-hyperx-impact-black-16gb-d9-109489.htm in therms of ram i am not sure what config im going to use either replace 1 4gb with a 8 and fill the free slot with another 8gb module or if i would be best just geting a single 8gb stick. im in canada so pricing would really be the logical reason between the 2 

 

thanks for the help

why do you need more than 12GB btw?

Generally you want to go for lower voltage ram whenever possible when dealing with laptops. If the voltage is lower than recommended, it's still going to work; not necessarily if it's higher.

 

The stock ram int he gt60 should be 1.35 btw http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/ram-details-needed.764925/

Use firefox

lol my firefox is open aswell with about 8 tabs at a time lol thinking of only adding 4gb more for like $30 witch is pretty good i would think maybe a single 8gb dim added but thinking having the 2x 4gb ones plus 16 would be a lot more ram then necessary at 24GB then i could have either 20gb with a 8gb dimm or 16gb if i get a single 4gb one
