1600Mhz memory on an Asrock G41M-S3 motherboard?

10-18-2013, 10:32 AM

I already have a 1333mhz memory module on my motherboard and i accidentally bought an extra 1600mhz memory module.
The problem right now is that my computer doesn't recognize the 1600mhz module. Do i have to go back to the store to switch or is there another posibility to let the 1600mhz memory module work?

The odds of the 1600 running alongside the 1333 in tandem is practically nil/zero. Mis-matched.

That and I don't believe the G41 was 1600 "ready'. Though, if the 1600 has SPD timings for 1333 it might work in single mode.

#1 - Please, when seeking help, enter the make and model of ALL parts that your system is comprised of in your Signature, or at least the model #'s in your System Specs, then "Save' it.
____If you are overclocking, underclocking, or undervolting any parts, informing us of this and their values would prove beneficial in helping you.

#2 - Consider your PSU to be the foundation from which all else is built upon. Anything built upon a weak foundation is poorly built.
