Hello, i'd like to know if i can mix 2 types of RAM sticks: First one that i have - http://www.emag.ro/memorie-kingston-hyperx-genesis-8gb-2x4gb-ddr3-1600mhz-cl9-1-65v-khx1600c9d3k2-8g/pd/EHJH7BBBM/
(mine are working at 1600 with 9-9-9-24 and 1.5v although it says it requires 1.65 it worked fine for 2 years :D )

The ones I want to buy - http://www.pcgarage.ro/memorii/corsair/xms3-8gb-ddr3-1600mhz-cl9-dual-channel-kit/
(same frequency, also 9-9-9-24 and same power 1.65v)

EDIT: I just verified that both types are supported by my motherboard. The question is if there are compatibility issues with the 2 manufacturers... ?

Will it work ? Thanks in advance

No way of telling without trying. Any time you mix sets of DRAM it can be and often is problematic - even with two identical sets of the same exact model. Best to get the full amount you want in a single package - then they are guaranteed to play since thewere tested to play
