I have 8GB RAM, 2x4GB Silicon Power, CL11, 1866MHz, 1.5V. I want to buy another 2x4GB pair. I thought about KINGSTON 4GB DDR3 HyperX FURY Black 1866MHz CL10 - HX318C10FB/4, but the only difference is the CL. Can I mix these two? I have MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate motherboard.

Specs: DDR3, 1866MHz, CL10, 1.5V, Unbuffered

Timings: 1866MHz, 10-11-10, 1.5V

Might be a pain, the Silcon sticks run off XMP and the Fury are PnP, might be able to set them manually and get them to play but no guarantees

They may not play well in overclocking. If you don't plan on overclocking, then set the CL to the lowest setting both support (in this case, 11) and to 1866 and 1.5v. They should do fine together, but there's always those batches that don't do well together. Make sure you buy from a reputable reseller with a good return policy, just in case.

Thanks for the fast answers! I don't plan on overclocking. I should change the settings in BIOS? I will buy from a reputable reseller, thanks for pointing that out. Can I set them both to work on CL11?
