ram

Hi friendly community. I have a simple and probably stupid sounding question to some of you out there: does it really matter what brand or style of RAM I buy for my hack as long as it's the same type as the recommended? I'm looking to build the socket 2011 pro and I found some RAM that's not on...

I've read that having 4 sticks of ram in a hackintosh causes instability. I've also read read that certain ram works. When i go back to work here in August i'd like to max out my Ram to 32GB, probably an OCD thing. I've always wanted to have a computer with maxed out ram and right now i have the...

I'm a bit frazzled. :oops: :banghead: I'm using an Asus Z87 Gryphon with an i7-4770K. The ram is 4X 8GB 1600MHz Corsair Vengeance CMZ32GX3M4X1600C10. I have worked with Asus, Corsair, and Intel explaining the issue and have RMA'd all three parts and am still getting the same issue. When using...

Hi, I bought an SSD for my Probook 4530s and since then I feel like if I had a new computer. I always heard that the performance would increase drastically if I use an SSD instead of HDD but I never thought it would be so easy to notice the difference. Now I see that my Probook 4503s 4GB...

Hey guys, I am going to build my first hackintosh and am currently choosing the hardware parts that are recommended in the buyer's guide. I want to build a CustoMac Pro (ATX) with the April 2014 Buyers Guide. The problem is that the RAM (I want to use for my system isn't available on...

Hey guys, I have successfully managed to dual boot OS X Mavericks and Windows 7 on my Hackintosh. I have 8GB of RAM installed and have been using Mavericks for the past month or two. A few days ago I installed Windows and went to see if everything was installed properly. When I looked at my...

My system will freeze randomly after a few hours. Sometimes it goes all day without freezing. Also, sometimes if the freeze happens, I press alt-apple-escape repeatedly and that closes a few programs and the system comes back to life. I have increased my RAM voltage from 1.50 V to 1.60 V and...

We have a test MacPro system with 96GB of RAM, and I am trying to built a system that can take at least 64GB. It seems though that most MB only take 32GB. What would be my best choice here if I wanted to go with a i7 Haswell and as much RAM as possible? At some point in the next few month we...

I've tracked down some less Costly RAM and SSDs that are different brand names then the Buyers Guide recommendations. Will that be an issue? Or is the brand only important for the more core components like CPU, GPU and Mobo?

Hi guys, Pretty self explanatory title. Obviously, with the z87n-wifi being a mini-ITX board at the moment with only 2 RAM slots available, it can only support 16gb of RAM. However, what are the chances of it being able to accept 32gb of RAM once compatible 16gb dimms are made readily available...

I'm opening this poll to focus on the freeze issues me and some of my GA-Z87*-*** comrades have been having. After having FREEZE issues myself .. I combed the internet looking for similar cases/solutions And found out I'm far from being alone .. many users with GA-Z87*-*** boards report freeze...

Hello, Three months ago, I bought a GA-Z87X-UD3H (rev. 1.x) with four modules of Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz DDR3 (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9). The modules are recognized by default as 1333Mhz modules. I enabled to XMP Profile 1 in order to make it work at 1600MHz. The problem is that the motherboard...

I've noticed that alot of builds are using the same ram, is that because there is only a few kinds that are supported by mac's os or because it's just very popular? anyone know is this ram would work? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148654...

So I have searched and attempted to troubleshoot this issue for months, and it seems to me like this is an issue that has potentially not come up, as I have never been able to find anyone else who has had the same issue. I can successfully boot my system, and everything seems to be...
