8GB 1600MHz doesn't like my 133MHz memory

Timbs

I have this exact stick of RAM:https://www.amazon.com/ADATA-1600MHz-Memory-Modules-AX3U1600W8G9-RB/dp/B00F902O5A/ref=pd_sbs_229_4?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=S5A95ZHMGJGHW6C7RJRR&th=1

It keeps messing with my other sticks, of which I don't know what they are. I just know that they are all 1333MHz sticks. One is 4GB, the 2 others are both 2GB and are the same models. Is there any reason that they don't like eachother? I can run either just the 8GB stick, or all 4 other sticks.

Because they're running at different speeds.. you aren't supposed to do that.

Put the slowest one in your DDR3_1 slot on your motherboard, and put the fastest one in your DDR3_4 slot.

 

I made this mistake in my first build lol

I was told that you can do that, they will all run at the speed of the lower ones though.

Set them all to 1333 in your UEFI.

It wouldn't even show screen. Just black screen, and the motherboard yells at me.

You need to match speed, timings, and voltage otherwise you're in for a real fun time.
