There'sa bit of build up to the story but bear with me...
here's the story
Recently i decided to upgrade my RAM to a 16GB, but thinking to give it a shot, I tried my local craigslist to see what was on.
I found and bought what was advertised as a:
Mushkin Silverline 993770
16GB (4 x 4GB)
240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM
DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666)
Cas Latency: 9
Timing: 9-9-9-24
Voltage: 1.5V
Quad Channel Kit
Heat Spreader
I tested each stick individually to make sure that none of them were burned out (they weren't) and then loaded them up. I put them in and following, get no video output. So I start pulling sticks out one by one with a restart in between.
It turns out that I was sold
2 8GB 2X4GB setups
Because 2 ran just fine.
here's the question
I know the ideal thing would be to just scrap it and by a matching 4x4 set, but is there a way that I could simply underclock or overclock one of the sets of RAM so that it won't recognize them as identical sets, and mess with my system?
