Same specs, different make RAM.

revathetaker · Oct 23, 2016

I'm here asking the same age old question. I currently have a transcend 8gb 1600 MHz 1.5v ddr3 RAM plugged into my gigabyte GA h77-ds3h (1.1) and my sister gifted me a corsair vengeance 8gb 1600 MHz 1.5v ddr3. Can I try plugging both of them together to run a 16 GB memory setup. What should I be looking for to check if they're working together???!? Is it safe to do so??!? Any thing I should know before trying it out.

as long as they are the same exact specs of you ram stick ur running they should have the voltage & matching numbers if the ram matchs run it should get 16gig

Even if they don't match specs exactly- just plug it in and see if PC likes it. There is no risk in trying, and most likely it will just work without a hitch.

Give it a try, not going to break anything, they will play or they won't, there are no guarantees when mixing DRAM it's a 50/50 crapshoot. If you try and have problems, give a shout and we can try some adjustments
