I'm currently running some DDR3 Corsair Veng (2x8gb) at 2400mhz, and I have 2 extra ram slots available not being used. My buddy is selling parts from his computer for pretty cheap, and hes got some G.Skill Ripjaws Z (2x4gb) at 2133mhz.
Now I know that my Corsair Veng's will drop to 2133 if I were to install these, but I'm not sure if I can even do that? Does my RAM have to be exactly the same? Or can I use a different pair of RAM as long as they're slotted accordingly and they're matching?
All 4 sticks run at the same Voltage as well, which is 1.65, but their timings are much different.
Vengance :
DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200)
Timing 11-13-13-31
Cas Latency 11
Voltage 1.65V
G.Skill:
DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000)
Timing 9-11-10-28
Cas Latency 9
Voltage 1.65V
Thanks so much
