Can you mix ram with different MHz?
You can use memory modules of different speeds as long as they are faster than those specified for your computer. It is recommended to use modules of the same speed as those already installed in your system. For example, for a DDR2 667MHz system you could add 800MHz modules, they will run at the 667 speed.
Is there much difference between 1333 and 1600 ram?
1600 is 1600 MHz, and 1333 is 1333 MHz. So the 1600MHz memory would (or should) be faster. But whether or not it’s worth the money can be a personal decision.
Can I use 1066 and 1600 ram together?
So the answer is that 1600 Mhz memory modules may not work in a slot that supports only upto 1066 Mhz. However the 1333 Mhz RAM worked.
Can I use 2 different RAM brands?
Can You Mix Different RAM Brands? In short, the answer to this question is: yes. The only RAM characteristic that will certainly cause incompatibility between RAM modules is the memory type. Different generation RAM sticks – like DDR3 vs DDR4 – will not work together.
Can 800 MHz and 1600MHz RAM together?
No you can’t. If you put two RAM sticks with two different speeds into the laptop, it will not switch on until you take one of them out.
CAN 1333 motherboard use ddr3 1600?
Originally Answered: Can I use 1600 MHz RAM in a 1333 MHz motherboard? yes you can use.. but you wont be able to take advantage of 1600Mhz frequency.. as your motherboard supports 1333MHz.. so your new ram will also run at 1333MHz …regardless of its own frequency..
What happens if I use mismatched RAM?
There’s a prevailing misconception you cannot use different RAM sizes together or that you cannot mix RAM brands. The answer is Yes, you can mix RAM sticks and RAM sizes and even different RAM speeds—but mixing and matching RAM modules isn’t the best for system performance.
Can I use 1600Mhz RAM with 1333Mhz Ram?
Otherwise it may be that the different set work perfectly well together, in which case they will work at the highest speed supported by the slowest module. In your case this will be 1333. So buying 1600 RAM that you intend to use with 1333 will be a waste of money unless the 1600 is actually cheaper, which wouldn’t surprise me these days.
What is the maximum MHz of DDR3 RAM?
I know that the motherboard accepts maximum DDR3 1066 Mhz. Presently all works well with 6GB DDR3 with 1333Mhz. But to mix the Mhz with 1333Mhz and 1600Mhz?
What is the highest frequency supported by the Ram?
The RAM will run at 1333 MHz though (highest frequency supported by the motherboard). This comes in handy if you made a wrong purchase or is gifted by someone.
Will my PC boot with a 1333Mhz Ram?
Your PC will boot and work just fine, being forced to run at DDR3 1333MHz. The RAM will be finicky, because the 1600MHz module doesn’t like being forced to run at 1333MHz. It will boot, but BSoD is something that is so common on your system.
