Is there any problem if I use two types (frequency) of RAM in one cpu

Hiiii..... friends......
Is there any problem if I use two types I mean two different frequency of ram in one cpu? like one ram is 1600MHZ and other one is another frequency

You should not do that it usually causes problems.

You will end up using the highest speed and best timings supported by both ram speeds so if you already have a 1600 MHz set there is no point in getting a 2133 MHz set as it would have to be downclocked or the other set heavily OC'd

Different brands + different batches + different speeds + different timings + different manufacturers = a difference of opinion. Most ppl call that a bsod.

before I had a 1333 mhz ram and now I am using another ram of frequency 1600MHZ....

They will meet at the highest supported frequency either RAM sticks support.

Example: Most 1600mhz RAM(ddr3) also works with 1333mhz(ddr3) RAM,but they'll all run at the 1333mhz speed if compatible.

Which doesnt hurt the RAM performance much at all and it's totally worth it if you're stuck with 2gb and are upgrading to more in Win7+.

How to know that what frequency is supported in my motherboard or in ram stick?
G43T - DM1 V : A 00 is my my motherboard

From a quick google search,is this your Motherboard?

If so,it supports up to 1066mhz RAM,which is any of these

(1066 was kind of rare compared to 1333)

sunit swapnasarit · Sep 4, 2014

yes that is my motherboard.... so if I used a 1600MHZ ram and a 1066 mhz ram together is there any problem?

It should be fine.

I wouldn't spend extra on the 1600mhz if you can get the same in a 1333mhz variant,though.
