Can I Use Ddr4 Ram In Ddr3 Slot

Turn off the system and unplug the power cord. Locate the memory slots on the motherboard. Now, make sure the memory module notches are properly aligned with the slot on the board. Insert the HyperX DDR4 memory into the socket and press down firmly until you hear the clips snap into place.

If you're going to buy DDR4 for any system, this is the time to do it. RAM prices may get a bit lower, but DDR4 has virtually nowhere to go but up. No, it is not electrically nor electronically compatible. DDR4, for example, runs at 1.2V (volts) while DDR3 runs at 1.5V (or 1.35V for DDR3L). A DDR3 RAM slot will provide that voltage.

Subsequently, one may also ask, can I put RAM in any slot?

A common misconception about RAM is that you can put any RAM into any slot. You can do that, but it won't work, or it will work ineffectively. If you have four RAM slots, always buy matched pairs of RAM (two sticks from the same company, same speed, and same capacity) for the best results.

Additionally, can you use 3 RAM slots? To answer your question yes you can use three sticks of ram, however you will not get the maximum performance from it like you will from matched pairs in dual channel. For stability & performance, never mix sets and always configure in dual channel mode.

Just so, does RAM go in first slot?

The manual recommends putting ram in slot 1 & 3 first then 2 & 4. The evo will block the first slot a little. If you need to just use slot 2 &4. Should be fine.

How much does RAM cost?

1GB stick – around $10 or less (DDR or DDR2, the more recent DDR3 RAM typically comes in larger sizes) 2GB stick – around $10 -20 (DDR3) 4GB stick – around $20-30 (DDR3), or around $30-45 (DDR4) 8GB stick/kit – around $40-60 (DDR3), or around $60-90 (DDR4)

No you probably can't. While both PC2 and PC3 memory uses a 240-pin connector, they are keyed differently so they'll only fit in board designed specifically for their type. The notch in the memory chip connector edge will prevent you from connecting the incorrect memory.

Similarly, what is the difference between pc2 and pc3 RAM?

pc2 = ddr2 and pc3 = ddr3. according to that spec sheet you linked, your system came with 3gig ram, and max's out on 4gig. it also says vista, but does not mention whether it is 32 or 64 bit. if its 32 bit, you can't access more than 3.25ish gig of ram.

Also Know, can you use pc3l and pc3 RAM together? PC3L RAM will work in a PC3 based system as it will run at the standard voltage and will inter-operate with PC3 RAM within the system. This is the speed of the RAM Clearly DDR3-1600 is able to run faster than DDR-1333. You can use the faster RAM, but, you really won't see a sizable difference.

In respect to this, can you put ddr3 RAM in a ddr2 slot?

2 Answers. no - DDR2 and DDR3 are not compatible nor interchangeable. aside from electrical differences (voltage, signal timing etc) the SO-DIMM modules should be keyed differently, additionally I think DDR2 SO-DIMMs are 200 pin whereas DDR3 are 204 pin, they shouldn't fit in same slots.

There are chips which are 4GB and 8GB, in dual channel mode this will not work. But you would still get 12GB total only a little slower. Sometimes you will have to swap the RAM slots since the detection has bugs. IE you can either use the 4GB RAM or the 8GB RAM but not both at the same time.
