Siddharth18 · Oct 28, 2017

Dear Community, Straight to point I have an 8 gb 1866 mhz adata ddr3 ram which i have plugged in also i have a kingston 1333 mhz 4 gb ram, so should I install both of them in my mobo or should i only run 1866 mhz ram with 8 gb mem. or should i get 1333 mhz on both ram sticks and get 12 gb of memory please help.

If they do work together they will run at the lowest common speed, 1333MHz. It really depends on the game/application you are running as to whether or not it will benefit more from 12GB/1333MHz or 8GB/1866MHz.

Siddharth18 :

Technically speaking you should buy a 16GB kit(2x8).

Mixing and matching RAM modules isn't recommended. That's when the specs. are identical. Mixing and matching specs. is not supposed to be done in any circumstance.

I would just install the 1866MHz RAM modules. Your next step, if you need more RAM should be an identical module or a new RAM kit(preferred).

Actually I dont want to spend much money on them because i will be getting a newer pc next year so just for the time being i want to just enjoy the current game and want to know which will be better 12 gb 1333 mhz or 8 gb 1866

Well i want to play PUBG mostly because CSGO is outdated and dont want PUBG to lag so i just need to ensure 12 gb with lower speed or 8 gb with high speed

What are the rest of your system specs?

8GB 1866MHz all by its lonesome.

It could go wither way. I would probably try both to see if you noticed a difference (you probably won't).

4770? Pretty good rig And you're getting a new PC? I would just replace your GFX card with a 1080, maybe from MSI https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GXOWUDQ. I'd also invest in a 500GB SSD.

With 16GB RAM, a new GFX card and a new SSD(OS on the SSD and the rest on HDD) I believe you will notice a SIGNIFICANT and definite huge performance boost.
