Using different ram

m4ci3k · Dec 11, 2012, 06:08 PM

Is it possible to use two different brands of ram?

G.SKILL Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800

AND

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

See if you can match the timings and it should be fine.

DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Timing 9-9-9-24-2N

DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Timing 9-9-9-24
Cas Latency 9
Voltage 1.5V

They are the same timing except the one has the 2N at the end..
