Mixing RAM Sticks

[MultiMigo]

I need advice on mixing ram sticks. 

 

I currently have an 8GB stick of Crucial Ballistix Sport 1600MHz CL11 1.5V

 

I'm looking to buy another stick of 8GB 1600MHz ram. Can I mix different brands? Different Cas Latency. I know that voltage should be the same. Thanks

you can mix and match just about anything, same voltage and same clock speed is ideal but neither is necessary

if you have 1.5v ram, the ram you get will likely volt up to 1.5v, but it also might not, its a little hit or miss

 

ive got a 8gb 1600mhz ddr3 stick mixed with a 4gb 1866mhz stick, one 1.35v and one 1.5v and they both now function as 1.35v 1866mhz

SOMEHOW

i have no idea how but it works

 

brand and latency wont matter, and if you dont have XMP, the ram will operate at the speed of the lower frequency module

you can probably find ram elsewhere cheaper, local craigslist ads and all that

but heres an 8gb stick of 1600mhz 1.5v ddr3

they will work and speed will be limited to whichever slower Ram
