Okay so I had 2x2GB which I give to my friend so he could save himself some money for the time on his build and its 1333MHz Ram while my 2x4GB is 1600MHz.

Will all the ram run at 1333MHz stock and how would I be able to Overclock the 2x2GB to 1600MHz?

by default your ram will run at 1333mhz just go into your bios and change it to xmp and it should be at the clock speed its rated at

What will run at rated clock speeds?

2 at 1333 and 2 at 1600?

OK the ram will run at 1333 at stock on all 4 sticks. To get 1600 you would have to oc the 1333 ram to match the 1600 also you would have do both manual,

xmp won't work with 2 different ram sets like you have so

Run all at 1333

Or

Oc both manual to 1600 you should be able to easy

Im presuming your MOBO has Uefi bios? If so just go into ram and fiddle around with 1333 to 1600 and see how it goes, if you get stuck you can always look it up as google is your friend :)
