So both sets of RAM are a 2x4GB 1600Mhz CL9 (9-9-9-24) DDR3-s, clocking at 1.5v. But one set is a Corsair Vengeance Pro and the other a G.Skill Ripjaws X series. I'm guessing the PC should boot and work with both in them, but would it cause lag or random stuttering in games? I know it's not as ideal as a dual-channel 8GB, but I already have one sets and the other one is at a 50% discount.
And if I can use them with no problems , two follow up questions. I'm guessing that is does matter which slot I'm putting the sets in(as in 1-3 and 2-4 slots on the mobo(Gigabyte z97x Gaming 5) are dual channel so one set should go in slots 1-3 and the other 2-4).
[strike]And the other question, can I still enable XMP, or is that out of the gate? [/strike]
Scratch that, just checked, the 4690k can't handle anything above 1600Mhz, so XMP is out of the question anyway..
