Mixing ram speeds

[jjrocks]

So, I have two pairs of ram. One is an this little thing: from OCZ the other is this pair of ram from Corsair. The only problem is that when placed in my motherboard together the computer does not reach the post screen and instead restarts. Any suggestions?

Unless the RAM is of the same latency it USUALLY will not work together. (I say usually, because some mobos may be able to arbitrate latency, but I have not seen reports of any).

Ideally, you should only use RAM from the same OEM with identical specs. I am afraid, jj, that you may not be able to use the RAM on a single mobo. My suggestion is to use it in another build, or sell one set and buy another set of RAM identical to the RAM you keep.

I actually was able to fix it recently. All I had to do was change the timings in the bios. Can't believe I didn't do that earlier ^^;
