Is This Safe To Use ?

Go to solution Solved by mariushm,

First stick is DDR3L 1600 Mhz 1.35v

Second stick is DDR3 1333 Mhz 1.5v

 

The motherboard will configure both memory sticks at 1333 Mhz 1.5v  which simply means that you're practically overclocking the first memory stick and you're giving too much voltage to it, causing it to unnecessarily consume more power and therefore heat more.

While it's designed to run at 1.35v, the chips are cool enough in general and there's enough surface around the chips to radiate the heat away, so basically running that stick at 1.5v won't make it overheat or cause it to be damaged over time.

Ideally, you should replace the 1333 Mhz stick (the Nanya one) with a DDR3L 1600 Mhz or 1866 Mhz so that both memory sticks will run at 1.35v and 1600 Mhz and you'll get a tiny performance boost and cooler memory sticks.

 

 

I Use This Different Ram/Bandwith almost 2 years, and i didn't see anything problem.

but is this safe or just make it worse our Pc/Laptop ?

and what kind problem if we using different frequency or bandwith from PC3-12800 And PC3-10700 ?

 

Can Someone Explain This ?

 

Thank You

Click the Memory tab. That will show you what your memory is actually running at. If there are mismatched speeds, your motherboard will typically default to the speed of the slowest stick.

Yup, 667Mhz as expected.

That "max bandwidth" refers to how many times it can check to perform read/write operations on each stick (Per second).

In search of the future, new tech, and exploring the universe! All under the cover of anonymity!

and that's why my computer are sometime fast and sometime slow. 

Thanks For Helping Me
