Hello,

I was wanting to upgrade the ram from what the computer came with which was,

4gb (2 x2) 2rx8 pc3-10600u

I have MS 7613 Inverness Motherboard. I was looking through the specification and came across this.

  • Dual channel memory architecture
  • Two DDR3 DIMMs (240-pin) sockets
  • Supported DIMM types:
    • PC3-8500 (DDR3-1066)
    • PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333)
  • Non-ECC memory only, unbuffered
  • Supports up to 8 GB on 64-bit systems
  • Maximum memory only if using 4GB DDR3 DIMM modules

 

I have DDR3 1600 240 pin with me and would like to use it. How can I go about this? Will it work with the mother board?

@Jvruss94,

 

Let's figure this out.  Please provide your DDR3 1600 RAM's exact product number.

 

If your RAM is unbuffered, non-ECC, it should work, but only at 1333 MHz max speed.

 

Kind Regards,

HMT 125U6TFR8C-H9 N0 AA-C

@Jvruss94,

 

Got it. The Hynix DDR3 2GB RAM you referenced will work.

 

However, speaking of upgrading, I would suggest to install 2 x 4GB RAM sticks.

 

If you want to 'stick' with Hynix, the part number for a 2 x 4GB RAM kit is: HMT351U6CFR8C-H9.

(8GB kit, (2 x 4GB) 240-pin DIMM, DDR3 PC3-10600U, Dual Rank, Non ECC, Unbuffered 1333 MHz RAM Memory Module by Hynix)

Pretty affordable too: $28 via Amazon, for example: 8GB kit, (2 x 4GB) 240-pin DIMM, DDR3 PC3-10600U,Dual Rank, Non ECC ram Memory Module by Hynix (HMT3...

The ram I described is the one that currently in the pc at the moment,

the one that I have extra that I hoped to use was

 

“crucial CT51264BD160B”

 

 

but looking at the one you suggested, it will probably be better to follow your advice

@Jvruss94,

 

It is indeed advisable to have matching (brand/size) RAM installed.

Yes, it would, but it will default to 1333 MHz.
