Hey guys, wanted to see if I could get this question answered so I know I didn't make a mistake.

I currently have:
- 2x G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL

I feel like my computer needs more, so I went ahead and purchased two more but I did not realize it was a different model number.

Ones I just purchased:
- 2x G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1333MHz DIMM PC3-10666 Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL
LINK: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002X578GE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Are these two going to have problems? Or will these two be compatible and I should have no problem?

Thanks in advance!

the clocking frequencies will have to be same

since overclocking is dangerous (thats what the companies think)..............the ram with 1600 mhz will downclock to 1333mhz
so both the RAMs can work together
it dosent make noticable difference



well rate my answer best.......it motivates me :)

Thanks for the help! :)

The older one I had didn't have amazon prime so I didn't feel like waiting, lol.

As long as these are compatible, and you said it should not make a noticeable difference, then it should be good!

What mobo? If the base on the mobo is 1066, they will try and work together at that, then best to set them to 1333. If the mobo defaults to 1333, check the timings that the mobo sets and will want 9-9-9-24. The mobo will prob set to slower timings
