What PC3-12800 800Mhz?

PC3-12800 = DDR3-1600. DDR means “Double Data Rate”. So DDR3-1600 means it is 800Mhz with a double rate (effectively 1600Mhz). In short, 800Mhz is the right number.

What is the frequency of PC3-12800?

PC3-12800 has a data rate of 12800 MB/s and runs internally at 1600MHz (clock speed 800MHz), so can also be called DDR3-1600.

What is the difference between 12800 and 10600 RAM?

10600 is 1333 ddr3 and 12800 is 1600 ddr3.

Can I use 1600MHz RAM instead of 800MHz?

Dual means two and each channel run 800MHz or the RAM specs is 1600MHz. No, system won’t downgrade, it will run 800MHz each channel in dual mode.

Is PC3 the same as DDR3?

PC3-12800 (12800 MB/sec) is the same thing as DDR3 1600MHz (1600 MHz data transfer rate) and it runs at 800 MHz DDR clock. Similarly for others, just divide/multiply by 8. Any memory that has the correct voltage and capacity and is same or faster than what is supported by the board should work in the board.

What does PC3L 12800 mean?

12.8GB/sec
he next generation of DDR3 has arrived. DDR3-1600 memory has a module classification of PC3-12800, which effectively means the peak data rate of the module is 12.8GB/sec (see table). That’s about a 17% improvement on memory bandwidth over DDR3-1333.

Is 1066 MHz RAM good?

In modern editing 1066 is a bit slow. You’ll want to go for something well balanced such as 1866MHz RAM, and buy the same model for all sticks in the future due to the voltage irregularities and recognition issues different modules create.

Can I use 12800 and 10600 RAM together?

PC3-12800 works just fine as PC3-10600 speeds. Think of it as a car capable of going up to 120kmph on a 100kmph highway. It will work just fine. Regular DDR3 DIMMs are designed to work at 1.5 volt.

Which is faster PC3-12800 or PC3-10600?

Distinguished. I understand that PC3-12800 has a faster data rate (1600MT/s) while PC3-10600 is 1333MT/s. One’s faster than the other.
