nope i dont believe so

[i_build_nanosuits]

no you do not want to do that

[i_build_nanosuits]

you know what...i would give it a shot at 1.4v

the ballistix will sustain 1.4v and the corsair might be stable enough with 1.4v

if you get instability lower the ram speed one notch and slack the timings...that is IF you need the extra RAM.

it's not ideal but it might very well work...it's a matter of messing around with the RAM settings in your BIOS...which can prove to be a real pain in the butt but might also work the first time. Good luck!

Thanks ill try that.

U can upvolt or downvolt any RAM, that's why voltage isn't the point in mixing RAM.

The actual chips used on the module THEY are the real point in miss match RAM (of course different chips will use different stock voltage).
Two types of chips, may not be compatible with eachother (or with the motherboard). That's why U shouldn't use different voltage type RAM.
BUT DDR3 is a standard, so IN THEORY they can work with eachother (a compromise may be required on performance side, to make miss match RAM chips stable tho).

You need to look up the spec of the low voltage ram. Does it also take higher voltage? Search for the exact part number and see what it says, or use something like Thaiphoon Burner to read the SPD. For example, I have Crucial Ballistix Tactical bought years ago. It is rated to run at both 1.35 and 1.5V as shown in the screenshot. When I first got it, I put it in a Sandy Bridge system, and it actually wasn't stable at 1.35V in that needing the full 1.5V. I later sold the system and moved the ram into a Broadwell system, and it runs happily at 1.35V.

 

So I'd say there is a fair chance the low voltage module will run at the higher voltage without problem, but do double check. For maximum compatibility, keep the ram together e.g. put in 2 sticks as you would normally for dual channel operation, then put the other two in the remaining slots.

I just checked and the ram can run at 1.35v/1.5v so i can run it. How can i change the voltage of the Crucial ram to 1.5v?

Your motherboard bios should be smart enough to do it for you as it'll see the other modules need it anyway. Depending on how the two sets of ram are programmed, you might or might not need to turn on XMP if not already done. You can also check for a specific ram voltage setting.

Just run 1.5V on both kits. They'll be fine the ICs on the 1.35V kit are undervolted. They'll be decent bin Micron D9 chips with the XMP voltage at 1.35V.

 

On most boards you just set DRAM Voltage to 1.5V and it will apply to all DIMMS. Some of the better boards allow voltage per channel. Just set both to 1.5V.

How about some more system details?

I have no recent experience with AMD stuff so will have to let others help there.
