Hi everyone,i am curious about having 4 sticks ram,with the same voltage/CAS but different brands will be that possible? To mention my M/O is MSI Z87-G45 Gaming it does support up to 32gb. The rams that i want to combine are these https://www.skroutz.gr/comparelists/56?compare=5240084%2C419057
The one is HyperX Beast 8GB DDR3-2133MHz (HX321C11T3K2/8) and other is Corsair 8GB Vengeance DDR3-2133 MHz the priority is to get 16gb ram now if i have to downcloack to 1600 or lower is not a problem.Any advice?

Anytime you add more ram their a chance it won't play nice together that's why their sold in matched sets.
I would first open task manager and do what your doing with the PC and see if your using close to the 16gb you already have if your not then adding more memory is just wasting money.
