Hello,

I bought a set of G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) (7-8-7-24 CAS 7) for my 1156 build. Now I also am planning to buy OCZ Gold 4GB DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) (8-8-8-24 CAS 8) because I can get a great deal. Would this cause an issue? Both are DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) but with different timing and CAS latency.

Thanks!
 


Triple Channel???

Where are you getting that?

As Ryan said, I'm using dual channels: two different 4 Gb kits (2x2)

The G.Skill is 1.6V and the OCZ 1.65V... I'm sure I can run the G.Skill's at 1.65v? I purchased the G.Skills during BF for around $73 (after cashback) and I managed to get the OCZ for $34 (after cashback and 2 rebates)... I don't mind running both at 8-8-8-24 CAS8, although I might be able to OC them both to run at 7-7-7-24 (CAS 8)
