hi. i wasnt sure where to post this if this not belongs here please do move it. i have 0 knowledge on memory ram. i had kingstone 8gb 1333mhz. and got 32gb used 1600 mhz ram. but the kingstone seemed faster like when i used 1333mhz at start up it was faster to boot to desktop and shut down would take l;ike 2-3 seconds 1600mhz takes longer to boot and shutdown takes around 5-6 seconds. on 1600mhz is not as fast but games do run smoother.? i was specting a bit more speed from 1333mhz to 1600mhz i know it very little but they behave different. why i found more speed on 1333mhz UPDATE sorry guys i mistakenly uploaded the wrong one. as they both seem similar in color.. soryy @Enthousiast yes this is where i was going to. but read the hardware section didnt see any hardware related question sorry.
The hardware section would have been the correct place for hardware related questions. The memory modules seem to have the same specs. It depends on the other hardware on which speed they run.
The last image label has Eco written on it. So I would probably say that is the only difference I am seeing yet.
Are you seeing the expected mhz speed in bios? If not, you may need to enable XMP in there. There are several free memory tests available. That'll tell you more than "feels slower". You don't mention your computer specs, do you know for a fact your motherboard isn't limited on RAM speed?
updated it post i uploaded the wrong picture sorry my laptop supports upto 32gb ddr3 1600mhx . theres no xmp on bios. yes i can see all 32gb and 1600 mhz by 4 sticks.
@raptorddd Booting was faster before because booting generally includes initializing the hardware. Once from the bios, then from the OS(afaik, at least). More ram modules means more initialization to be done. Also, the memory controller has to do more work with more modules. Games run smoother because you probably are not resorting to the virtual memory on your storage drive, which is a... virtual... extension to your physical RAM. When games(or any software in general) have to resort to virtual memory, there is the noticeable slowdown because storage isn't as fast as RAM. That's mostly it, a bit oversimplified, but I believe accurate enough.
i had the same amount of modules.. 4x2gb 1333mhz. wich boot faster it didnt even showed the loading circle dots. i have now 4x8 GB 16000mhz. the only difference i see is PC3 and PC3L. wich i just did a resarch and found PC# is 1.5v while PC3L is 1.35v not sure if more voltage more speed. thank you for your explanation.
It's never the best idea to mix Ram of different specs. Sometimes you'll get away with it, other times strange little errors you just can't put your finger on.
they are all the same. i had 4x2 GB=8gb old sticks new sticka 32GB x4 sticks all the same specs. i just made the change from 1333mhz 8gb 4 sticks to 32GB 1600mhz. but noticed the old 1333mhz seemed to have more speed.
pl cross check its CL values in advanced memory tab of BIOS the lesser the value the better the performance.
yes boss might be possible . i am not known which BIOS your hardware have & where to see in memory options to go through those cl values. but xmp will auto set correct cl values according to RAM best performance. i hope u will be having xmp enable disable option somewhere inside BIOS foe me its default to 15 -15-36 & i set it to 14-16-31 giving the best performance on my hardware. its a desktop i never use laptops as according to my thought laptops have very less performance as compared to desktops .
boss as i can see its a pc3 12800 memory module which i think is 1600mhz 1.35 v ddr3 ram . best CL value must be 11-11-9 as according to my consent for this memory module on a gigaybte z77 mx -d3h mobo as i too was having same 8gb * 4 memory modules on same mobo till june of this year . here i am not known of the mobo you are using Boss pl let me know cpu-z screenshot of memory tab on same hardware running win7 but i dont suggest on win10 or 11 .
