RAM

[Imatechnoob]

Okay, I just got my PC working, it's old, I have a msi military class EuP 2013, but the ram slots  don't fit all my rams. Please help me with this.

It supports DDR3 RAM. If you're trying to install DDR4, or even DDR2 (pretty old) then it won't fit. Check the type of RAM you're installing.

 

Edit: If it still doesn't fit, and you're sure you have DDR3, can you send a picture?

So I can use basically ALL DDR3 rams?

Also thanks for the fast reply

You can use any DDR3 Ram on pretty much any board that uses DDR3,assuming it's not like DDR3 4000

I'm pretty sure you can't use server ram in a normal motherboard and vice versa

What is server ram?

ECC or Bufferd Ram

[Imatechnoob]

I don't know anything about ram, so please explain further sorry to bother

ECC/Buffered RAM corrects errors on it's own. It's used in servers since they have to be super reliable.

Oh okay ty

Okay, so u can use 2 same gb rams as long as they have the same "specs" but where can I find these?

You can actually mix RAM size and speed...

[glitchmaster0001]

you can mix ram speeds and vendor brands and it will still work fine. the memory controller will just adjust all the sticks to the one with the lowest specs. say you have 2 stick installed. 1 is DDR3 1600MHz and the other is another stick of DDR3 but the speed is 1866MHz. the memory controller will downclock the faster stick so that it will match the stick with the lower speed.

So for instance I have 2*2gb ram, they'll work even if they have different speeds?

And also 1gb + 2gb will work?

Again huge tech noob
