Hello! I have a 4GB stick of 2133Mhz HyperX memory. Planning to buy 4 more GB. If I buy another 4GB of HyperX memory, but in 2400Mhz, will the sticks run in dual channel? Will there be a difference, if I bought the same 2133Mhz ram? Please answer quickly. 

 

 

Thank you in advance

I'm not an expert on this, but I think it will underclock them to the lowest common denominator. So the 2400MHz RAM would be running at 2133MHz

I edit my posts a lot.

Yes it will run in Dual channel if your CPU/board supports it.
