Mixing Ram Brands?

 

If you are going to buy new RAM, you can mix RAM brands. However, it will make your life easier if you buy the exact same type of RAM. You won't have to do anything new and you aren't putting your machine at as much of a risk.

It's unlikely that two different kits would run in a quad channel setup. However AM4 and LGA1200 compatible cpu only support dual channel. So if you have such a system then you should be able to run two banks of dual channel. All modules will have to run at the same speed and timings.
