790FX-GD70 with 16GB RAM, possible?

Hi guys,
Currently, my PC using 790FX-GD70 with 8GB RAM, and now I want to upgrade it to 16GB. I need your advice which memory are compatible and stable for my system.
I've checked on MSI Memory Test Report here:
http://www.msi.com/file/test_report/TR10_1740.pdf
However there's no test report for 16GB, max memory used there is for Kingston KHX1600C9D3K3/12GX (12GB) running at 1600 (OC).
Following is my spec (NO overclock):
+ Processor AMD Phenom II X6 1100T
+ Motherboard MSI 790FX-GD70, Bios A7577AMS v1.H
+ RAM (8GB):
   - Team-Elite 1333 PC3-10700H 2GB x2
   - Team-Elite 1333 PC3-10700 2GB x2
+ Video Card ATI Radeon HD5700 GDDR5 1024MB
+ Hard Drives (10TB)
   - 1 x WDC SATA II Caviar Black 2 TB 64Mb,
   - 4 x WDC SATA II Green 2 TB 64Mb
+ PSU Seasonic M12II-520 520W Modular - 80 Plus Bronze, 520Watt, +12V1 = 20A & +12V2 = 20A
+ OS Windows 7 x64
I really need your advice.
Many thanks!

Hi Bas,
Many thanks for the reply.
Maybe this one?

  • 790FX-GD70 not setting RAM to correct timing nor voltage from SPED

    My 790FX-GD70 not setting RAM to correct timing nor voltage from SPED when set to auto. The RAM I have should be 6 6 6 20 @ 1.8V but the motherboard is setting it to 9 9 9 24 @ 1.5 V
    The RAM is   Crucial 2GB, Ballistix 240-pin DIMM, DDR3 PC3-10600 memory BL25664BA1336 • DDR3 PC3-10600 • 6-6-6-20 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1333 • 1.8V • 256Meg x 64 of which i have two of then in the two black slots.
    Just to rule out the RAM I also tried a different model of RAM whose timing is 7 7 7 24 @ 1.65 which will not allow to boot to windows unless I adjust the voltage manually to 1.70 (1.65 V will still not boot properly)  it sets it also at 9 9 9 24 yet this same sticks of RAM will set correctly in a MSI 770 C45 without any adjustments.
    Now i will say in the case of the 790FX-GD70 I require no changes  in voltage for it to boot with the 1.8 V RAM just the timings are not as they should be. The 790FX-GD70 is stable as is and I will probably leave it at the auto settings  but wondered if anyone else  encountered similar issues with this board

    Looks like this is a bit of an issue for some other users of your RAM and not necessarily a MSI thing! This user has a ASUS board! Good luck and hope you get it sorted out.
    Backround:
    I bought some DDR3-1333 ram that was advertised as 6-6-6-20 @ 1.8v and, as expected, running on my board's default 1.5v it was only getting like 9-9-9-24. In fact, @ stock voltage the best I could boot up with (unknown stability) was 9-7-7. In an attempt to get the best (advertised?) performance I went ahead and manually set the timings to 6-6-6-20, left all other timings on auto, and upped the voltage to 1.8v
    Boots up fine and appears to be stable. However, I do notice the RAM is fairly warm to the touch whereas @ 1.5v it was pretty benign heat-wise. I tried running 1.785v but 3 out of 4 times it would hang on the windows desktop display. So I bumped it back up to 1.8v and I'll run Memtest 86 or something else later tonight.
    My question, being a noob and all...
    Is running at 1.8v going to hurt something? (See my setup MB, and CPU stats)
    Just to repeat, the box and manufacturer do list it as 1.8v spec. (FYI: BL25664BA1336)

  • 13'' dual-core with 16gb ram vs 15'' quad-core 8gb ram -- ram vs cores?

    Hello.  I am at a point between choosing a 13'' dual-core i5 with 16gb ram vs the 15'' quad-core with 8gb ram - both retinas.
    I will be using photoshop and illustrator while uploading/downloading large files constantly.  After much headscratching I almost decided on the 13'' i5 because from my experience, RAM limitations is where I usually run into problems, and don't see the extra price of i7 worth it when it is still a dual-core.  For the same price I can get a 15'' quad, but will be stuck with 8gb ram.
    I don't care about the screen size, I have good eyes and the weigth trade-off makes this a non-issue.
    I'm thinking about down the road, as either of these I'm sure will be fine solutions.  I'm just wondering where does the edge really come in this case?  Ram or processor / cores?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply tjk, of course with 16gb on the 15'' for $200 more  I'd have easier time, but in this case I am comparing a refurbished - the lowest 15'' 16gb I could find would cost $500 more, I just can't do it. 
    I should make clear that this particular comparison between 13''w/16 and 15''w/8, they are the same price (the 13 being new) - which is why I'm stuck.
    To rephrase - for the same price - which will I regret less in 4 years?
    As a side note, I can't believe I'm even thinking about paying this much money for something that is not upgradeable, but that's another discussion entirely.

    Just purchased a new mac mini 3GHz Intel Core i7, with 16GB ram version 10.10.1. With it i purchased a new wireless keyboard. All of a sudden I was not able to use the #1 key. I thought I had a defected newly purchased keyboard. I pulled out my older wireless keyboard, and the same thing happened. It must not be the keyboard if it happened to two different keyboards. I have a habit of restarting my computer, when things don't work, I find it helps, and sure enough, everything works. Today, it happened again. Does anyone know what is causing this to happen?

  • Would VMWare ESX(i) run on on a W510 (i7 920 with 16gb ram)?

    Hi all,
    A tough question perhaps though perhaps something useful to know for quite some users:
    Would VMWare ESX(i) run on on a W510 (i7 920 with 16gb ram)?
    All thoughts and comments more than welcome!

    I see no clue why it wouldn't. I used to have ESXi installed on VMware Workstation on my W510 i7-920 with 16GB RAM. I have yet to find a spare hard drive to install ESXi on bare metal.

  • Can I buy a Macbook pro retina 13" with 16gb RAM and i7 processor in an physical Apple Store in Spain?

    I´m looking a Macbook pro 13 inch, but I would buy it with an i7 processor and 16Gb ram. Can I buy it in a spanish physical Apple Store or only in the Apple Store online?
    Thanks

    At least in Spain, some Apple Retail Stores have got specific build-to-order MacBooks Pro available, but they are just because they are sold better than any other build-to-order MacBook Pro.
    However, as Kappy said, it's quite difficult you can get one with the configuration you want. Have a look at the list of Apple Retail Stores in Spain, choose one and call them to see if there's one available > http://www.apple.com/es/retail/storelist The best way to buy a build-to-order Mac is through Apple Online Store

  • Mac pro with 16GB RAM for CS3? CS3 cant use more than 3 GB? why

    hi
    does it make any sense to buy 16GB RAM for a mac pro
    only for working with CS3?
    i am retouching prof. and in the moment we run CS2 on the mac pro.
    later CS3 is in the pipeline.
    we ordered 16GB RAM in order to work with HDR images and big file sizes coming from hasselblad h2 and h3 (300dpi, 23 x 23inch, round 50 or 100 layers, filesize 1 - 2GB per image.)
    thanks

    found this article @ adobe website
    thanks for your help!
    "When you run Photoshop CS3 on a 64-bit operating system, such as Mac OS X v10.4 and later, Photoshop can access up to 8 GB of RAM. You can see the actual amount of RAM Photoshop can use in the Let Photoshop Use number when you set the Let Photoshop Use slider in the Performance preference to 100%. The RAM above the 100% used by Photoshop, which is from approximately 3 GB to 3.7 GB, can be used directly by Photoshop plug-ins (some plug-ins need large chunks of contiguous RAM), filters, and actions. If you have more than 4 GB (to 8 GB), the RAM above 4 GB is used by the operating system as a cache for the Photoshop scratch disk data. Data that previously was written directly to the hard disk by Photoshop is now cached in this high RAM before being written to the hard disk by the operating system. If you are working with files large enough to take advantage of these extra 2 GB of RAM, the RAM cache can increase performance of Photoshop.
    The default RAM allocation setting in Photoshop CS3 is 70%. These settings should be optimal for most users. To get the ideal RAM allocation setting for your system, change the RAM allocation in 5% increments and watch the performance of Photoshop in the Activity Monitor. You must quit and restart Photoshop after each change to see the change take effect.
    The available RAM shown in the Performance preferences has already deducted an amount that is reserved for the operating system from the total RAM in your computer. You shouldn't set the percentage of RAM to be used by Photoshop to 100% (unless you are using more than 2G of RAM) because other applications which run at the same time as Photoshop (for example, Adobe Bridge CS3) need a share of the available RAM. Some applications use more RAM than you might expect. For example, web browsers can use 20-30 MB of RAM, and music players can use 20-50 MB of RAM. Watch the Activity Monitor to view the RAM allocations on your computer.
    Watch your efficiency indicator while you work in Photoshop to determine the amount of RAM you'll need to keep your images in RAM. The efficiency indicator is available from the pop-up menu on the status bar of your image or from the Palette Options on the Info Palette pop-up menu. When the efficiency indicator goes below 95-100%, you are using the scratch disk. If the efficiency is around 60%, you'll see a large performance increase by changing your RAM allocation or adding RAM."

  • Out of memory with 16gb ram?

    I am running CS4 on an 3.0 8 Core Mac Pro with 16gb of ram and a raid 0 scratch drive made from 6x15k drives. I had my memory usage set to 92% with 10.5.6. I recenetly upgraded to Snow Leoaprd and was working on a 3mb file, with no other applications runining, besides firefox.  I was trying to use the quick selection tool and when I tried taking away from the selection I got the "out of memory (ram)" error. So I dropped the ram usage for ps it down to 85% and that seemed to work. Is this normal for Snow Leoaprd? In the past, people had recommended that if you had over 10gb of ram to set your ram usage to 100%, but I see that must no longer be the case?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Now I just tried opening up one page of a 9pg pdf file in CS4, and I got the "not enough memory" error again? I have 10.5.6 on another drive, so I went back to that operatinig system and tried opeing the same file in CS4 with the memory usage set at 92% and it opened up fine.

  • Why has maverick bogged down my iMac 21.5 with 16gb Ram to a snail mode I looking going back to OSX Mountain Lion, Why has maverick bogged down my iMac 21.5 with 16gb Ram to a snail mode I looking going back to OSX Mountain Lion

    did the update to Maverick from OSX ML and boy has it slowed down my whole computer big time, what a mistake to have done this..... the whole computer has dramattically slowed, I thought Apple advertised be faster and slicker and better use of resources and I got 16gb Ram and 500gb HDD and 3.6 ghz processor, OSX Lion was snappier than this what a big mistake since this was installed.
    Thanks god I did a disk image of the machine before I did it Ill go back and stay with OSX ML until Apple sorts problems I see many issues has risen and also Mail is playing up big time so who screwed that up?

    Check your Activity Monitor to identify what might be slowing your system. Mavericks is as fast, if not faster, as Mountain Lion for me and I'm using a 2009 MacMini with 8 Gigs of RAM.

  • Macbook Pro 2012 overheats with 16GB RAM. Is this normal?

    Hi guys,
    I installed 16GB RAM on MBP 2012 13" running I5 for peace of mind, as I think I might need all of it when using say autocad and other 3d visualization programs in bootcamp. Also I am an architect/designer who likes having a tone of stuff open at the same time between browser and emails and music and work. That's just the way I am.
    But there is one thing I truly dislike and that's a hot laptop on your lap when in bed, say. It also just makes the whole karma horrible I reckon.
    Anyway, after trying 8GB thanks to a mix up at the store where they gave me two 4GB sticks instead of the 28GB I had ordered I noticed the same improvements for basic use I have now with the full 16GB package. But now I feel that the laptop is overheating using Mavericks which wasn't happenng before. The system shows the full 16GB in operation so I don't think there is a malfunction there. But I want to ask of this behaviour is considered normal or i on the other hand I should be going to the shop where I got this from to complain?
    This is the RAM I bought:

    **** it's hot!!
    Thanks,
    MF

    The amount of RAM will not be responsible for heat, the application(s) and the amount of resources it(they) require(s) from the CPU/GPU will create the heat.  This is the 'official' Apple policy on how a MBP should be used:
    http://www.apple.com/support/macbook/care/
    Note this particular paragraph:
    If you install istat menus:
    http://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/
    and open Activity Monitor to ALL PROCESSES and CPU to display values from high to low and post images of both when the MBP gets hot, we may be able to determine if it is normal or not.
    Ciao.

  • Will there be a bottleneck with 16GB RAM and 32 threads CPU?

    And if so how much of a bottleneck? Is it worth the money to upgrade to 48GB? I have 8x2GB in the HP Z820, but was thinking of getting more RAM from Mr Memory that is compatible with the Z820 for much cheaper than what HP are selling HP branded ram for. I was looking at 8x4GB for around £344 to make 48GB. Is it risky going unbranded or do people do this a lot?
    Thanks
    Costa

    HP can list that it's an option that doesn't mean it's recommended or the best way to do it without having issues. Since the ram controller was moved to the CPU, trying to run asynchronous timings on system boards with Quad channel is asking for problems. If you call the ram manufacturers they wont recommend it with their ram and likely wont support it if they have any clue. Due to how the ram market is so volatile and dimm modules change ram chips from 1 production run to the next , you cant even run 2 different sets of the same model of ram with different manufacturer chips on the dimms. The ram companies will tell you that you need to change them out. I have been dealing with all of the ram variables since tri-channel started on the I7 Gen 1 platform and it only gets more complex with Quad channel. We have our ram custom made just to ensure we have the same manufacturer chips on our dimms regardless of the production along with the same stepping of construction until the wafer has to change. There are far more timings than CAS rating and the most important to compatibility are the sub timings which the manufacturer does not list. HP also can say they only want Grade 1A ram modules for their dimms which is why they are more expensive while that ram manufacturer will use other grades for their own branded ram. Those modules will not work together most of the time if at all. Do what you will but dont say you were not warned. Much of this information is not available to anyone unless they talk to the Engineers over in TW that deal with the dram chip fabs.
