Ram Timing Question

[HelloPeople]

what will happen if i put 2sticks of 8gb kingston hyper x with 2 sticks of an older kingston 4gb. which the timing is different? is it beter to just use the 2sticks of 8gb? or is it better to use all of them?

with my experience, i recommend not combining them together but since theyre both kingston im tot 100% sure that it wont work.

They'll all change to match the timing of the slowest stick.

No, not really. RAM generally has very little if any impact on performance.
