RAM: Gskill Gskill Ripjaws X DDR3-1600MHz VS HyperX by Kingstone

M05K · Oct 25, 2014

Hello everyone!

I have 2 adata rams with the HyperX one I know I shouldn't mix ram brands and I think I have perfomance issues because of that. Should I buy another HyperX or buy a kit of gskill rams?

Which one is the best?

Mixing brands is not a bad thing if their the same timings, volt, and speed.
You never listed the motherboard if it's a duel channel board your performance issue could be from having 3 sticks instead of installing them in pairs.

They're not the same timings, but they are the same volt and speed. My mobo it's locked can't change the timings.

You should list all your specks of the PC, why you think you have performance issues, and open task manager and do what you think you have issues with and see how much memory your actually using.
It's not as easy as saying buy this or that without knowing the whole story.

Some times I get the message I should change the windows theme to basic. That never happened with only the Adata rams. Last night the "Shutting down" never shutted down, after 9 hours of sleeping the PC was Shutting down for the entire life.

Any time you mix DRAM it can be problematic, even with two sets of the same exact sticks - if you give us the mobo, CPU and model numbers of the DRAM you have might be able to make some slight timing/voltage adjustments to get them running smoothly

My mobo is locked from overclocking. Was from those pre-built PC's I changed like everything on my PC, new case, new gpu but I stayed with the CPU and the Mobo. There's any way to change the timings?

In that case no, be best to either get a full set of DRAM in the amount you want - or look at a compatible mobo that your CPU can run on

Should I buy another HyperX then?

Just 1 RAM of GSkill? Dual Channel isn't better than Single Channel?

1 set* of Dual Channel. 2 * 4GB or 2 * 8GB
