Hey guys,
So i just got a little bit of cash like $70-80 to spend on a long over due RAM upgrade, been sitting on 2 Gbs for 1 year which in this times is criminal, and i wanna buy a 8 Gb kit. Problem is idk exactly what model to choose and what specs.
I have a Asus M4A88TD-V EVO-USB3 motherboard, Phenom II 955 BE, GTX 560 Ti, Seasonic S12 something 520 W. Taking into consideration the fact that i wanna keep this rig for atleast another 3-4 years i need to make sure i don't overload the PSU too much. So was thinking of buying a low voltage kit (1,35 V) like Corsair Vengeance White LP Rev. A 8GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 Dual Channel Kit but i can't find it in the QVL list.
So i was wondering, do low voltage kits require support from the mobo or they work on most of them since they actually need less voltage? Or because it needs less the mobo must have built-in support to supply "only" 1,35 V to the RAM?
Another option would be to buy a high frequency or low latency 4 Gb kit, but i figure it won't help me at all since if i overclock i just do it from the multiplier. So maybe a low latency "might help" but idk.
Thoughts?
