Side by side comparison


In the end I can't recommend this and you should avoid mixing memory chips. You may have a chance to face BSOD or memory refuse to run together.
The safest way is always buying memory that come together in single package.
Buying separate memory even if it is the same brand , same model and same frequency / timings is NOT guarantee that you will get the same chip.
This is just testing for fun. Enjoyed.
