Hello guys

i have a g75 bbk5 - 8gb RAM


I read the sticky of adding ram to the g75 and i pretty much understood everything and i dont want to downclock because i bought the wrong one i want to run on 1600mhz so id like to double check just in case before purchasing this 2x4gb from newegg.

Thanks in advance.

it will work; just make sure they're seated properly.

for faster boot and app load times, i would also suggest you get a SSD.

Thank you for your respondes.

by seated you mean properly placed ? sorry english second language xD

yes, properly placed 🙂 you can check out this video to get the idea.

and don't worry about bad english (it's not my mother tongue, either); as long as we can guess the meaning that's fine; if not we will ask hehe

Ok thanks for the responses very helpful
And another thing you guys feel major improvement in performance from.8gb to 16 gb ?

Yeah, you should see some performance boost.

Yep, the 8GB set from newegg should work well, that is the correct CL, and timing.

Looks you are set! Just get a 2x4 GB matched set, don't worry too much about the vendor, though higher-quality brand-name is worth the money for the return policy if it doesn't work.
I am disturbed because I cannot break my system...found out there were others trying to cope! We have a support group on here, if your system will not break, please join!

it depends on your usage (for daily usage, some say even 8gb is too much); you might feel that there's no apparent improvements if you do not have something that actually make use of it.

in your case, i think a SSD is a better investment. a decent SSD will do; it will bring you some 'major performance improvements'.
