So I have a slight dilemma. I recently bought some new ram (g.skills ripjaws 2x4gb 1600mhz). Lucky they work fine, but it leaves me wondering what to do with my old ram (corsair 2x4gb 1333mhz). Can I just throw them on the board and be alright? Or should I put them in storage as spares? Or just throw the things out. I THINK the corsair ram can be OC'd to match 1600mhz if that means anything, but don't quote me on that.
EDIT: Quick edit, just noticed after check online that my corsair ram is actually listed at 1600, and my g.skills is listed at 1866. Is there a reason when I check them both on the mobo it downscales them both by a tier (the speeds I have listed above)?
Also I should mention that when I have both sticks in the board it gives me the wonderful 16gb I wanted, but downscales to the predicted 1300mhz
