i cant remember where my memory is

Thanks. Wanted to make sure i got the right spec sheets.

Edit: actually ill just continue here.
there's a deal on some ddr3 ocz high platinum. if that is not good ram, then we can stop here.

my a-data's L is 999, and the ocz is 777. will these 2 work? one is 1.5v and the other is 1.7,,but the 1.5 can be turned up to 1.7.
seems like it would be inviting some sort of incompatability, or stress on one or the other. But then thats how us beginners that dont know, think.

You will end up frying your A-Data memory if you raise the voltage up that much. OCZ memory is alright, but isn't made from high quality parts, so is beat by near every other lot of memory out there. If it is a deal that is good enough to buy, and then sell straight away to make some money, then get it, but to buy for your system with the A-Data, no, it wouldn't be a good purchase, and most probably wouldn't work anyway, because of the difference in settings
 
ok. i wont get it. but,,and i dont doubt you, just trying to learn:

even tho:
• Timing Reference
- DDR3 1600 CL9-9-9-28 at 1.5V
- DDR3 1600 CL9-9-9-24 at 1.7V

because of the latency? 999 vs 777?

thanks

If you dropped the latency of the A-Data to those of the OCZ, it would be the same as overclocking, meaning not certain stability. A voltage bump may be needed, it depends on the memory, because like all OCing, the results vary from chip to chip, but even if one is needed, .2V is a lot for memory.

Both use different components, tested and rated at different speeds, voltages, timings etc. They are never on the edge, hence why you can overclock them, but they aren't designed to work at the speeds you are looking to get.

I think I'm waffling at the moment and probably not making much sense. What I am trying to say is in there somewhere, but I can't get it into words, if you understand, great, if not, please, someone come along and clean up what I said and clarify :P

Ok! Thanks! When they are similar - ram is ram, basically. But ram vs ram can be very diff because of thier tech diff's.
Thanks for youre insight and fast replys:)

im not looking to overclock my mem. but i dont understand why adata would have this on the spec sheet if it would harm/void warranty:
• Power supply (Normal): VDD & VDDQ = 1.5V ・} 0.075V
• 1.5V (SSTL_15 compatible) I/O
• Timing Reference
- DDR3 1600 CL9-9-9-28 at 1.5V
- DDR3 1600 CL9-9-9-24 at 1.7V​


The other day i bumped the v's and clock from stock 3.2ghz

and when i did, this is also what happened:

^^1333 is stock for these modules^^
this is not the correct voltage according to A-Data's spec. sheet
i'm going to put everything back to stock settings.

Oh I see, I thought you were saying that 9-9-9-28 @ 1.5V was for the A Data, and 9-9-9-24 @ 1.7 was for OCZ. Should have looked at the spec sheets first to make sure rather than assuming :o

Well what I said is a load of crap then lol. Looking at the Newegg/A-Data page, it is good up to 1.75V, so 1.7 should be absolutely fine. If they also say that it will work at 9-9-9-24 @ 1.7V, then they should do

And on the screenshots, when overclocking, set it to the lowest possible voltage, whilst still having the system stable. If it is stable at 1.5, but not at 1.45 say (depends on the increments you can set in your BIOS, that is assuming you can change 0.05V increments), keep it at 1.5

After looking back at it - i did make a puzzle out of it.
Thanks again.

It should also be pointed out that although in theory, and generally in practice also, different brands/models of memory will work together, so long as they can both be run at the same settings, it isn't uncommon that different types of memory don't like working with each other, so I am saying yes, the memory SHOULD work together, but that doesn't necessarily mean it WILL work together
