Ram Question

SacredChili · December 26, 2013

So my ram is weird and was made from Korea lol. It has this number 1145 on it and was wondering if that means I can't use it for an asus saber tooth z77 board lag 1155? I wanted to make sure it's ok before I buy the board. Thanks.

rofl you'll be fine mate, that is probably a serial number or something, so long as it is DDR3 you'll be fine

Take a guess where the two largest manufacturers of memory chips are located.

In fact I can just make out the end of Hynix on the label. Care to guess if they are #1 or #2?

HMT351U6CFR8C-PB N0 AA is the part number. It's 4GB DDR3-1600MHz (PC-12800), unbuffered, no ecc, 1.5v. About as generic as it gets. You should be able to look up the part in the motherboard's memory QVL.

The fact that it's "korean" doesn't mean it's bad at all, that's a hynix module if I see correctly, and hynix is a fine manufacturer which is well known for it's flash chips.

As to your question, I'm pretty sure you can use that on a sabertooth z77 board, but check the QVL here just to be sure:
