Can 8-8-8-24 and 9-9-9-24 RAM Timing be used on the same motherboard?
when i built my computer last year i only got Gskill 4gb(2x2gb) 1600 DDR3 RAM the timing on these sticks are 8-8-8-24, A couple months down the road i needed more RAM so i bought another 4gb(2x2gb) 1600 DDR3(Gskill) only the difference is the timing is 9-9-9-24 i put both sets in but windows 7 wouldn't read but only 4gb so i updated my chipset drivers and they worked fine this evening i took out my RAM to clean the dust off of my motherboard (in between the DIMM slots) and i plugged them back in the way i had them (it's hard not to one set is blue and the other is red) now when i turn the power on it only stay on for about 3 seconds and shuts off and repetes untill i unplug it however i know the RAM is not bad because both sets work by themselves just fine again the only difference is the timing which is 8-8-8-24(blue ones) and 9-9-9-24(red ones)
my mother board is an MSI P67A-C43 B3 if anyone could help me i would appreciate it thanks
