I currently own PNY Optima 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) PC3-10666 1333MHz DDR3 Desktop DIMMs Memory Kit and I am going to buy Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3 1600 MHz PC3 12800 240-Pin DDR3 Dual Channel Memory Kit for my computer. Will these two different rams work together on a GIGABYTE GA-A75-UD4H FM1 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with an AMD Quad-Core A8-Series APU A8-6600K with Radeon HD 8570D processor? (I copied all of the product names directly from amazon, therefore if you want to check the products out individually, just copy them into amazon.)
 
Solution
Since your using the apu your graphics performance is heavily dependent on your memory. I would get the fastest memory that my mobo would support if I was using the apu.
If, by chance it does, all will work at the slower 1333 speed.

Ram is sold in kits for a reason.
Ram from the same vendor and part number can be made up of differing manufacturing components over time.
Some motherboards can be very sensitive to this.
That is why ram vendors will NOT support ram that is not bought in one kit.

So you would recommend me not trying it because it will not work?
