Just How Bad is Mixing Memory?

James

Considering i have a stock 3000 mhz kit and im about to get a 3200 mhz kit for the 5600x upgrade im going for.. Will clock BOTH up to 3600 no matter what.

 

3000 is CL15.

3200 is CL18. (Comes with 5600x pack)

 

If all else fails to reach 3600 mhz, ill just dump 200$ for 4000 mhz 2x8 kit and pray the ASUS ROG Strix B550-E or MSI's B550 Plus motherboards support it..

The way they tested this is not the correct way to see if incompatibilities exist. 

 

They used the same testbench (same mobo same CPU) while what they should do is using different motherboards and different CPU combinations that would showcase the issue better. 

 

Dont get me wrong I dont believe myself that there is a huge potential for failure just that the existing potential would not surface if you use the same testbench... mobos of the same chipset and even same manufacturer have sometimes different QVLs for example 

 

The reason incompatibilities arise in mixing ram is not that the standard doesnt support it on the contrary it does, its about particular product implementations due to minute details (even the distance or the route of the individual pin lanes could play a part here) showing up problems related to this. 

 

If you are using the same mobo+CPU and only test the settings you dont do much, if the mixed RAM dimms work on that then changing the settings is merely a matter of if all the DIMMS can support the said setting not a matter of if your mobo+cpu combo can handle particular types of mixed dimms you established that it can handle the particular mix when it booted and worked without issue with the default settings

I ran mixed ram with no issues on my acer or whatever brand motherboard with an intel i5 7400, the speed was reduced to 2400mhz automatically for one of the modules to match the slower one.

I may have missed it in the video but I'd be interested to know how common having 4 slots with 2 sets of 2 matched sticks because I could totally see a lot of budget enthusiasts going for that. I'm just picturing say building a rig now with 2 4GB sticks to get you by and then, I don't know, a year later you've saved up for another set but you can't find the ones you bought before so you buy another set with similar speeds and timings to bump you up to 16. I would imagine that would run a lot easier than having all 4 slots populated with different sticks.

I got 2 different brands of DDR4 2400 MHz RAM all 4 GB sticks and never BSOD my Ryzen 5 1600 system.

I have two cheap 8 GB sticks. One 2133 and the other 2400. It works fine clocked at 2300 or less, but any higher reports 8 GB for some reason.

Can someone explain if having 3 sticks (2 matching in dual channel and 1 random) is bad or doesn't really matter?

If you have different amount of RAM in each channel, it should run some of it in dual and some in single. 4+4+4 would have 8GB dual and 4GB single. AFAIK windows won't try to prioritize the dual channel in any way, so you will have inconsistent performance.

 

If you are running something like 4+4+8, you should be able to get full dual channel, as long as you put 8GB in each channel.

4:33 - that's not a flex mode, that's Dual-channel with three DIMMs, and intel CPUs have it too. 
and depending on the configuration, with bad matching RAM you would get Single-channel with three DIMMs

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005657/boards-and-kits.html 

 

and to expand about compatibility, it all boils down to that you have 2 memory channels in normal CPUs memory controllers, so you can run with little performance hit, on almost anything compatible with 2 RAM sticks.
The stairs begin with more then 2 RAM stick, and from bank/rank differences.

Is it safe for laptop ddr4 memory as well? or only full size PC ram?

I am thinking of adding memory to my 1950x on a gigabyte x399 Aorus Xtreme mb. RN I have 32gb (4x8gb) g.skill RGB 16,18,18,38 DDR4 sticks. I want to add four more sticks with same speed and timings but 4x16gb for a total of 96gb. How should I mix in the 16gb sticks with th 8gb ones to keep quad channel and have all 96gb available?

Just going to add my own experience with mixed memory in a laptop here (see my sig, 8 gb and 4 gb sticks). It works great, until you close a program that causes the memory usage to drop below 8 gb, then it'll hang for about 20 seconds. Only happens when closing programs, never opening. I need the extra memory so I deal with it, but not recommended if you don't.

 

I should definitely buy an actual 16 gb kit at some point.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

See what happens when you mix RAM DIMMS from different manufacturers!

 

 

 

I made a guide, ever heard of tripple rank memory setup? That requires mixing...

 

My personal experience with mixing...

DIMM A1 = Kingston / HyperX Fury 8GB 2666MHz CL16-18-18-39 (SK Hynix)

DIMM B1 = G.SKILL Sniper X 8GB 3200MHz CL16-18-18-38 (Samsung)

DIMM A2 = Kingston / HyperX Fury 8GB 2666MHz CL16-18-18-39 (SK Hynix)

DIMM B2 = G.SKILL Sniper X 8GB 3200MHz CL16-18-18-38 (Samsung)

The XMP profile worked out of box! 🙂

Now my OC of CL13-15-15-30 was nerfed to CL14-15-15-30... 😞

Overall works very well even passed memtest86! 😉

Anyone know of the place to find out the manufacturer of the RAM dies? No real mention of how to do that in the video.

Your going to have a bad time... Just a guess.

Want to make it worse? Diff timing and supported speed. This will be fun.

mixing ddr4 is basically plug and play, even with timing and speed differences, it just chooses the lower timing, it's not as bad as it used to be at all. Hell mixing ram isn't as bad as anyone makes it out to be, I have two different kits of ddr2 that ran in the same system for years.

Set two is CMK8GX4M1D3000C16 Timing - 16-20-20-38 3Ghz

Rock solid for 24+ hours.

Question here:

I currently have 2 8gb OLOY DDR4 Ram 3200 MHz CL16 1.35V 288-pin. It looks like OLOY discontinued the specific model I bought, and came out with another. It's pretty much identical, however the model number is slightly different. 

 

Would I be able to run all 4 sticks together (my current sticks + the new ones I'm looking to buy)?

 

Honestly, I feel like it'll be okay? I just need someone who may know more about this stuff to confirm if this is possible.

 

Thanks all!

A question, cause i'm kinda confused and dont know what to do, I have kinda of an old pc it's an i5-4660 with z97-d3h gigabyte mother board, a 1060 6gb and for the ram at the time i had a 2*4 kingston beast 2400 ddr3 and lately i wanted to increase it to 16 gb but cant find them anywhere i search, so i was adviced to add the kingston hyperx with lower mhz of 1600 would that affect my pc performance or i would have to get them and try what would happen??

What about mixing RAM like 16, 8, 16, 8 with similar frequencies?

I've noticed an issue with my rig, I have a 12th gen core i5 12400F an Rtx 3060, I've been running some things in vr and have slowly noticed that my ram usage doesn't really decrease or increase, I'm running 16gigs atm. I have an older pc which I've thrown some new Corsair Vengeance ram into, same amount of gigs, same clock speed and everything as my active Hyperx fury, I've looked around some other forums and have only come across assumptions that it might or might not work, I'd rather not find out without a broken system, is there any concrete way to know if I mixed my 16gigs of Hyperx fury ram with my 16gigs of Corsair Vengeance, both rated at 3200 mhz, my pc wouldn't run into blue screens possibly corrupting files, sense that's the reason i had to get a new rig?
