Hi all,
Time to give myself a ram upgrade after 9 years.
I am currently running 6gb (3x2gb) OCZ Gold series in triple channel
DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Timing 8-8-8-24
Cas Latency 8
Voltage 1.65V
(https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227365)
Sadly, they have long been discontinued, but I managed to find an affordable used set of
6gb (3x2gb) OCZ Platinum series
DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Timing 7-7-7-24
Cas Latency 7
Voltage 1.65V
(https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227381)
Now, I know you're not supposed to mix memory kits but these look basically identical to me (and are both triple channel, which is what I'd be using as my mobo has 6 slots, for two sets of triple channel) except for the lower latency of the Platinum sticks. Will I be alright to combine them with my Gold sticks if I set the latency to 8 for all of them?
That would give me 12gb DDR3 1600 ram at a cas latency of 8, which would set up me up for the next while, assuming it works.
Thanks!
