Different company and size ram

Rumpels · Feb 15, 2017

I now have in my pc 4 rams 2 of 2gb
one 4gb and one 8gb, different company. all 1600mhz. Is that a problam? My motherboard is compatible up to 32gb. Please answer as simple as possible beacause I don't understand all the technical terms.
Thanks

It will most likely be a problem, different RAM sticks have a chance of not cooperating with each other.
You have 3 different RAM sticks.

As long as your system reports having 16 GB of ram, you have no problem. They will all run at the lowest of all 4 speeds, so it may slow your PC down a bit (or not, depends on exact specs, which you didn't posted).

What can happen? And how will I know if it causes problems?

Rumpels :

You most likely will have freezes or blue screens. It may not even boot at all.

DRagor :

This is not true, even if the system reports 16GB of RAM, it might not work together, BSOD or freezes, random reboots are all possible.

lakimens :

I thought OP had already have them installed

Anyway, as long as all sticks are good, the worst he can get is fail to boot. IF it boots, chance is they will work well.

Ok for now I see 16gb. So its ok to leave it but if I detect some glitches I should remove? Thats the general idea?

Rumpels :

Yes

It will not do any permanent harm, it just may interrupt whatever you're doing.
