Can you use different Ram brands?


Recommended Posts

hi everyone,

i was just wondering did you have to have the same memory brands ie: 4gb of OCZ CL-8-8-8-24 1600mhz ram 2gbx2 and 4gb geil 1333mhz CL-9-9-9-24 4gbx1

is it possible to place these ram brands together without problems, does it matter to have different CL timmings and MHz clocks?

PLEASE HELP!

thank you :D

 

sorry everyone i made a second one by pressing the button 2 times...LOL? :doh:

SORRY :mfp:

Yes you can.

You can set them to both be 1333mhz on 9-9-9-24 timings or you can try your luck and oc them to both 1600mhz with 8-8-8-24 timings

But you cannot have one at 1333mhz and the other at 1600mhz :P

 

P.S : I deleted your other topic

They do set themselves to the mobo's auto setting which is usually 1333mhz and it normally has set timings for 1333mhz

But you can do it the manual way ... You can go to the oc'ing menu of the mobo , go to DRAM frequency , set to your prefered frequency , then set the DRAM timings and save

Both should be able to do 1600mhz 9-9-9-24 timings .

 

And thanks for the compliments on the sig :)
