hi. I have a HP pavilion HPE h9 series desktop pc. it was came with 4GB single DDR3 stick. task manager & bios shows that its speed is 1600mhz.
I wanted to upgrade my ram & bought an 8GB stick. Hyper x fury DDR3.

it has overclocking of upto 1866mhz.

i'm not sure which stick should be installed in 1st slot to get best performance.

in 1st slot: Hyper X Fury PC3-12800J 8gb ddr3 1866mhz (gaming).

in 2nd slot: simple PC3-12800 4gb ddr3 1600mhz
please help...
 
Solution
Try with the 8GB in slot 1 and the 4GB in slot 3, may not even work, don't think the BIOS and mobo support 8GB sticks, believe those maxed at 4x4GB
