cross series RAM compatibility

[AFrenchWallaby]

Hey, if anyone can help me out that'd be great.

 

So I'm looking to upgrade my PC. I'm moving out of a mini itx case and I'm going for a black and white theme across every part. I found the MOBO I want and the case, but I want to get the RAM in black and white. The RAM I'm looking at is from Kingston and I was wondering if I could use both the Fury Black series and the Fury White series together. 

 

 

Thanks,

Yup, no difference besides the colour in metal.

It's strange that they advertise them at different speeds

Do they? These sticks for example both say 1600:

Yeah, just like any other stick of ram. They sell different sticks at different speeds, the colours however don't effect anything besides looking different.

Ha I actually have that RAM in black and white right now. Like salt and pepper.

Don't let looks fool you, If the hard facts are better but the ram looks worse get it anyway. Honestly how often will you be looking at your ram? Unless you have a side panel which fyi are a pain in the ass to clean.... 1600mhz plain ram is allot better rainbow coloured DDR2
