Mixing Ram?

[FlamingEagle978]

has anyone tried to use 2 CORSAIR Vegeance DDR3 2400 4 GB sticks and 2 G Skill Sniper DDR3 1600 4 GB Sticks together and Has it worked like can someone tell me what happened if they did it or if I’d experience issues what I could do to fix them?

It will work but the vengeance 2400 will all go to the slowest speed. (1600)

Ya it'll work.

You can't mix and match DDR3 memory with a DDR4 memory.

They are both DDR3 according to his post

What issues could I get and would they damage my computer or would it just cause like instability or crashing? That you guys for such a fast response

Yes it will work, it will be the speed of the slower memory.

Doesn't appear to be the same voltage so depends on if the Vegeance can be downclocked to 1.5 stable or not, in the past this has been an issue however it will depend, usually it is fine but it's a bit dicier with varying voltages

Crashing and it might not start up with the new ram in

It has to be an enthusiast MOBO though, as in no prebuilts or server boards.

You won't have any problems, but the slowest DIMM needs to be in the first slot on your motherboard for it to POST.

Alright, it failed to boot 7 times and then loaded into the bios in safe mode, I had to change the CAS latency to all match the Corsair because the Corsair ones had a slightly higher one and I changed it down to 1600 just to make sure it would boot and now it works just fine and I even increased to 2400 like I was previously running and haven’t had a problem. Lightning fast now
