Ram Speed

[MKNYO]

Hey guys, I would like to ask for help in my ram specs because I'm opting for an upgrade and I'm new here so please bear with me.

 

So I would like to ask you what my ram clock speed is, is it 1333 or 1600?

And if it is any of that, could you suggest some rams that I could buy that is compatible?

 

Thank you in advance guys.

1600 running at 1333

It's 1600MHz CL11 (Hynix HMT425U6AFR6C-PB) but it's set to run at 1333MHz CL9. 

 

The way they manufacture RAM (and transistor chips in general) really only another Hynix HMT425U6AFR6C-PB that's manufactured around the same time in the same facory can be somewhat guaranteed to work. If you're willing to toss the one you have, you can refer to the motherboard manufacturer or the OEM system builder for compatible sticks. Or you can also roll the dice and just get any stick with those exact settings 1600MHz / CL 11-11-11-28 @ 1.50V and test it to see if it works. DDR3 tends to be relatively stable so you have good chances. No guarantees though. One note if you're going to get something els alongside this Hynix. CPU-Z doesn't say it but the stick is singe sided and single rank. Get identical.

If I can't find a Hynix, can I buy another kind of ram like a hyperx 1600MHz 4gb?

How can I make it run 1600MHz when it's set to 1333MHz

Consult the motherboard manufacturer or if it's an OEM prebuilt, the OEM. Or Kingston. Kingston has a memory compatibility tool on their website. RAM settings are changed in the BIOS.

Thank you sir.
