Need help with old processor

NRuiz3 — Thu, 28 Jan 2016 02:08:25 GMT

Hi! I am trying to make work a pair of G Skill 2x4gb 1600mhz on a Gigabyte H55m S2H rev 1.0. Now i have an I3 530 and they didn't boot with it. And I'm going to buy an used I7 860. Do you think that it will work now? Thanks a lot!

Hello NicoRG,

Please take a look at ftp://download.gigabyte.ru/memory/mb_memory_ga-h55m-s2h.pdf ftp://download.gigabyte.ru/memory/mb_memory_ga-h55m-s2h.pdf. You platform does not support Single Side(Rank) 4GB DDR3 memory module. Core I7-860 could not solve this problem if your memory module is single side (rank) with 4GB.

Best Regards,

Aaron Janagewen

Hi NicoRG,

The Intel® Core™ i7-860 supports memories of DDR3 1066 and 1333MHz at 1.5V. Low voltage memories at 1.35V are not supported by the 1st Core™ generation.

http://ark.intel.com/products/41316/Intel-Core-i7-860-Processor-8M-Cache-2_80-GHz Intel® Core™ i7-860 Processor (8M Cache, 2.80 GHz) Specifications

The Intel® Core™ I3-530 belongs to the same generation of the i7-860, so it supports the same type of memories.
