Different ram brands

[Darkharry]

I have hynix (1333mhz) DDR3 motherboard only and my friend has an old pc with some hyperx DDR3 ram so i was thinking if i can mix hynix and hyperx (even if hyperx is 1600mhz)

It’s not a guarantee, mixing ram isn’t always compatible, it usually is but some stuff can keep it from working correctly.

You can’t mix ECC and non ECC memory, obviously can’t mix entire standards ie ddr3 and ddr4, and sometimes large speed differences won’t work at all, like 1333mhz ddr3 and 2400mhz ddr3.

That combo should be fine, it’ll likely run all the sticks at 1333mhz.

His ram is 1866mhz but either way 4 1333mhz sticks are better than 2, thanks
