Can I run a stick of ddr3-1333 alongside a ddr3-1600 and still have them run at max speed?

AsianFoodrules · May 25, 2013

Hi, I have a stick of 8gb ddr3-1600, and a stick of 2gb ddr3-1333.
I want to run the ddr3-1600 at its full speed and the ddr3-1333 at its full speed as well.
Specs:
Mobo: ASUS p8b75-m
Cpu: Intel I3-3200 @ 3.3ghz
Video: Sapphire Radeon 7850 2gb @1ghz
Ram: As mentioned above.
Thanks in advance.

No. Both sticks will run at 1333 (and you will not see any difference on the desktop between 1333 and 1600 anyway).

As said above both sticks will run at the slowest speed of the two.

Really? Well that sucks. Is there not much difference between 1333 and 1600? Could you give some benchmarks or something just to be sure?

There is always a difference otherwise why is there any 1600mhz at all?
Your motherboard will require a pair of ram, both at the same speed and volume (and brand), for maximum efficency.
