Hi guys,
I currently have a MoBo gigabyte G1 sniper B6 with 2 cards of 4gb RAM kingston DDR3 @1600MHz...I currently have them in what the manual calls the DDR3_1 and DDR3_2 slots(the green ones) as it indicates to place same brand, capacity and frequency cards at same color slots
So recently I was given 2 more cards of 4gb kingston but at 1333MHz and tried to install them at DDR3_3 and DDR3_4 slots (the black ones) but the PC would keep on rebooting or "half turned on" but doing nothing...that, until i swap channels and it normally boots detecting all 16gb @1333 (cause it can't work with 2 different freqs at the same time right?)...everything cool!!!
So my questions are:
1- why does that happen?? is there some problem with my board or there's normally a priority channel to be picked when different frequency pairs are installed??
2- would you recommend keeping the previous 8gb @1600...or is it always better to expand capacity regardless of frequency loss( i'd say I play consuming games but I'm not sure i could need more than 8gb)
thanks in advance to you all guys..really appreciate the replies
