RAM for Acer Aspire TC-885-ACCFLi3, what type RAM needed

jonathanwylie

I have an Acer Aspire TC-885-ACCFLi3 Desktop, 8th Gen Intel Core i3-8100. What is the type of RAM I should be looking for if I was to add any and what is the max this machine will take?

The spec sheet you screenshotted shows 2666/2400Mhz support memory interface, but some of the Crucial sticks on the link go to 3200mhz. Does that matter?

No, it takes 3200 MHz DDR4 but will downclock to 2667 MHz in Dual Channel Mode.

I think that you can buy slightly cheaper 2666mz.

I had already install mine before Billsey told me that fact.

The motherboard dictates the speed so a 3200 will only run at 2666.

I'm not sure if Dual Channel Mode is applicable on a TC-885 ??

billsey

Yes, don't pay extra to buy 3200MHz memory, since it will only run at 2666MHz. Unless you get the 3200 at the same price, or that's all that available to you, the 2666MHz is likely the best choice. Dual channel is automatic when memory is populated in matching pairs of sticks.

That's the only issue I have with the Crucial scanner. It will offer you the most expensive options first and you typically have to scroll down quite a ways before you get to the affordable choices…
