CompuRAM offers upgrades with identical capacity but with different clock speeds. When selecting suitable memory modules, the question arises: How do I determine which one is the matching upgrade for me?

Basically, you can rely on the fact that all upgrades in our online shop, matched to certain system models, are compatible and mixable. If system upgrades are subject to special specifications, we will mention it separately.

The best option is to buy the upgrade with the highest clock speed, especially because prices often differ slightly. For example 400MHz instead of 333MHz or 1333MHz instead of 1066MHz etc. Our clock speed indication always refers to the memory modules MAXIMUM possible operation modes.

Despite the still common opinion, DIMM or SO-DIMM do not have their own clock speed but are always being clocked by the system bus.

The maximum, but especially the minimum, memory clock speed is predefined by the memory’s possibilities, the chip set, the CPU and often the system’s manufacturer. The clock speed justifies itself during the booting process by BIOS routines to maximum possible and secure values.

Overview:

  • The slowest memory module always determines the clock speed for all RAM installed in the system.
  • Thus, you can mix different “fast” modules worry-free if we offer them.
  • Your system is justifying itself during the booting process to ideal, stable and secure values.
  • The indication on the modules or in the product description refers to the maximum timing values. These values are standardized according to JEDEC and INTEL worldwide. For these standards a different wording is being used. For example: The indications DDR400, PC3200 or 400MHz are basically all the same specifications.
  • For our upgrades, we always use the most current and fastest DRAMs and never old items. That means, that we typically provide upgrades that allow an even higher timing than neccessary for your system.

    My system RAM is 1x32GB DDR4 UDIMM with Clock speed 2933MHz ( M378A4G43AB2 – CVF) . I would like to upgrade my system to 64 GB RAM. As per the Processor and Motherboard , I can expand it till 128 GB RAM.

    Can I use another supplier make RAM , 1x32GB DDR4 UDIMM with Clock speed 3000MHz ( CMK32GX4M1D3000C16) ?

      Hello Rao,
      we have our technicians check this. However, since all inquiries from customers who have bought from us are processed first, this can take a little more time. However, it is certain that they will need further information about the system used.
      take care
      your CompuRAM team

    how can compermise with clock speed 2133Mz or 2200Mz is that possible to use 2200Mz instead of 2133Mz .
    please reply its urgent
