can i pair 2666hz on my laptop with 2400hz ram?

[Chirayu_vyas]

i ordered a new 8gb ram for it but the ram that came is 2666hz will it work???????????????/plz help me

[dean_5234]

it will probably work and run at 2400mhz. probably.

[Radium_Angel]

mostly yes, the faster ram will simply downclock to the slower ram

if you have read the details of your laptop on what it can support then sure...

it will likely say what RAM it supports?

Yeah.

 

 

 

You can put any two speeds of ram, just they would run at the speed of the slowest stick

[Quackers101]

yes, but do note the lenght that is supported.

difference in smaller or larger ones. like this -- or this ------   loooong

also if it's m.2 nvme or not. reeeeeeeeeeeee

A couple of options depending on manufacturer, cpu and memory kit. 

 

1, if you have, say a Dell laptop, you can hack the bios and do memory overclocking from grub shell. i did this on precision 5520. worked so-so tbh, but the method was correct. other bios:es from other manufacturers also have hidden options. 

2. there are 2666-kits with a 2400 mt/s jdec spec. if not, then it might down clock to 2133. google the K23K42K34K234923849283498 model number and try to find out what the spec is.

3. mixing ram sticks is usually a bad idea.

so if the question is, 'what should i buy?' open it up, google the model number on the ram stick installed, and buy a matching stick. Or, sell the included stick, and buy two matching sticks.
