Sammy 738 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) I already have this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0134EW7G8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Considering adding this: https://www.newegg.com/corsair-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820233859?Item=N82E16820233859&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=ShellShocker&cm_mmc=EMC-SD102020-_-SD10152020-_-Item-_-20-233-859&tp=i-1NHD-Q7H-1Hk-3cWsAm-2G-8JgT-1c-A2l-3aTKF2-l5DmnrXl02-1aPDFD&om_rid=3317734004&om_mid=4944&email64=dGJlY2t3aXRoNzlAZ21haWwuY29t They're basically the same RAM but different Data Rates.

Dibbes 431 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 There is a possibility it works, as the faster RAM will clock down. What is likely though is that your system gets unstable. Personally I'm not a fan of mixing sticks with different specifications at all. I've seen strange things happen even if the specs were the same but different manufacturers.

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 yep bad idea - usually reads to weird errors and the bios may say NO as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I think everyone will agree ideally it should be the same brand/same speed but any modern motherboard shouldn't have an issue with mixed memory. I've got 4 different brands/speeds in my Dell server at present and have zero issues. Of course you need to add the memory in banks using the same type. You could try looking up your motherboard or computer and see what the manufacture says about this as well as not all motherboards are created equal when it comes to things like this. If you purchase from a reputable vendor you should be able to return it if you have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 738 Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 The RAM on sale at Newegg is not listed on the Gigabyte Motherboard Compatibility List. I suppose I should pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
