RAM voltages by Ice Cream Jonsey 11/18/2011, 7:26am PST
Here's the thing: I used to be up on all this shit. Then I got a computer that worked flawlessly for three years and now I'm an idiot. I'm going to start a few threads here, because this is the only site I can trust.

My motherboard allows me to put four sticks of RAM in it. It has to be in pairs, however. One pair of RAM says it needs a voltage of 1.6v, the other 1.55. I can see only one way to set RAM voltage in my BIOS. What's the best move here?

Should you always buy RAM that is exactly alike? I mean, I know you SHOULD, but how important is it?

    You'll need to set it to 1.6 and hope the lower voltage set doesn't fry by Entropy Stew 11/18/2011, 7:56am PST NEW
    Just set the RAM settings in BIOS to auto. Or is it a trick question? by Eurotrash 11/18/2011, 2:22pm PST NEW

            Eurotrash is wrong; I am right NT by Entropy Stew 11/19/2011, 11:13pm PST NEW
                I know setting to 1.6V is technically the correct thing to do. I'd just throw in by Eurotrash 11/20/2011, 8:50am PST NEW
