Mixing dual channel memory

senthurpandian · Apr 17, 2015

Hi,

I have a dual channel ram:
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL

Is it ok, if I buy someother branded dual channel ram from some good deal and add it to this pair to get 16GB?

My mother board is ASRock H97M Pro4 - supports dual channel upto DDR3 1600

Thanks in advance.

never any guarantee when mixing ram from different makers--might work might not

ideally all the modules should be identical

so, you suggest me to buy the same model?

senthurpandian :

yes i would do so

Can try, but no guarantees even with the same exact model

You practically have to use the same ram for the best performance

As mentioned, there's no guarantee even with the same exact model

I have installed the following setup and it works just fine for the past 1 month.

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 4GB DDR3 1800
-- Total 12GB

Motherboard: ASRock H97M Pro4 - set at 1600

Thanks for all your inputs.
