I have 4 memory slots in Mobo. 2 of them occupied by corsair xms3 @1600 cl11 although its using 1333 @ cl9 according to speccy thing (since i haven't unlocked with bios)

I want to add two Transcend 2GB DDR3 1333 cl9 into other two slots

Would it work? i do edit videos a lot think more memory would be useful

ANY time you mix DRAM, it can be and often is problematic. There are no guarantees two packages of DRAM will play together, even if the same identical model. Best to get a single set of DRAM in the full amount you want and sell the old or use it in another rig.

That's why I said ANY time you try and mix sets, even if you get another set of the same exact model - there are no guarantees, best bet is a set of the entire amount of DRAM you want/need and the sell off the old, put it in another rig or see if it will play with the new.
