I have 2 G.skill RAM sticks 4gb each, in dual channel of course, I want to use the RAM sticks from my old PC which are 4 GB per stick too, i have the slots to set these to dual channel aswell. The sticks from my old pc are ADATA.

I want to run dual channel G.skill RAM sticks and in the other two slots i want to run duel channel ADATA ram sticks, they're both DDR3 and 4GB per stick, just different brands and speeds. is this possible?

You can give them a try, it's a 50/50 if they will play or not, from CPU would go GS - Adata - GS - Adata (one of each in each channel) and give it a try, if no joy try raising the DRAM voltage + 0.05...Let us know and if still problems can try other adjustments
