Hi .
I have 4gb 1600 cl 11 avexir ram
I bought corsair 2*4 1600 cl 9
I want them to work together
So is possible to downgrade the cl 9 one to cl 11??
My friend told me that it will damage my rams
And can i run intel xmp with these specs
I5 2400
P61
 
Solution
Yes. The computer most likely read the cl9 timings in slot 1 and tried to run the cl11 stick at cl9 and it failed. You can also try bumping the dram voltage to 1.55v and see if it helps any
