Can I use 1600 mhz RAM with 1333mhz RAM ?

Han Xing · Jan 12, 2015

I am currently have 4x 2 1600mhz RAM DDR3 and I got another 4x2 DDR RAM from my friend but it's 1333mhz, can I use it together with my current one ?

Yes you can. It will reduce your current one to 1333 to match new one.

You can try. No one can guarantee memory overclock. Good luck!

so 8gb with 1600 mhz and 16 gb with 1333mhz which one is better ? the 16gb one ?

Yes, amount of ram is better. You wont really notice any difference between 1333 and 1600 or even higher.
