Hi,
I had a Corsair 1600mhz DDR3 2x2gb ram I bought for my PC when I built it. I bought the 1.65V and overclocked my CPU to 4.2ghz and the ram to 1600mhz over the default. Stability was fine, but it would blue screen randomly after playing games for 2-3 hours.
Since then I swapped out the ram for 2x 4gb Corsair dominator 1.5v and 2x 8gb corsair low profile 1.5v a year later. No more blue screens since.
I recently bought my dad a dell optiplex 9010 with an ivy bridge i5 and it has 2x 4gb ddr3 running at 1600mhz. Thinking of using my old ram and putting it into the second pair of DDR3 slots.
Questions are:
1. Do you think my ram was defective? Or just unstable because I bought 1.65v by accident?
2. Do you think it would be stable in the dell optiplex?
Please help.
I didn't find the right soltion from the Internet.
