1333mhz and 1600mhz

[ispukan]

Hello i have
asus h81m-c
i3 4130
4gb ram
r7 250x

i have one stick of 4gb of ram with 1333 mhz 1.5v and i want to buy kingston hyperx fury 4gb with 1600mhz 1.5v

Would this two work together for a while because i am short of budget and i can afford only one stick of hyperx and i will buy other latter ( sorry for my bad writing)

I do not recommend it. Just run run one or the other. You are asking for problems if you do. The timings are probably different
and there are different manufacturers.

Yes different manufacture and different frequency but for month or two because i am playing games and 4 gb is low for my needs

They may or may not work together. 50% chance.
If they do Great ,if not you have wasted your money.
It is best to buy memory in matching pairs to ensure compatibility.
Even buying the same brand a month from now may or may not work with the stick you are planning on buying now.
Primary cas rating and voltages may match but secondary timings may not. That is why it is always suggested to buy ram in matched pairs.

No one with any reasonable Knowledge of computer technology will say it is ok. I have built and fixed many, many, many computers and again I say Don't do it. You must choose, Choose wisely.

No, simply put, don't do it.

Loving the Last Crusade reference by the way...

Okey i wont buy from 1600 mhz but from 1333mhz kinston( because its only ram brand here ). Would it work if there is only difrence in manufacture ?

Let me tell you a short story.

I had 2x2GB Kingston ValueRAM 1333 MHz for a while in my old PC. I wanted to buy additional RAM since 4GB wasn't cutting it anymore. At the time I decided to go for 2x4GB Kingston ValueRAM 1333 MHz. I checked the timings to be the same and everything, so I thought I would end up having 12GB in total.

Well, it didn't work. Even though the 2x2GB and the 2x4GB were from the same manufacturer, were rated the same in terms of speed, timings, revision and everything, it didn't work. The only thing that changed was the batch, and they refused to work together, no matter what I did. I tried matching timings, underclocking, nothing worked, and I was using the new 2x4GB, while my 2x2GB was now useless.

Ever since then, I simply buy matching sticks, and hope I can sell the old ones afterwards.

I'm runing 8GB Patriot Signature and 8GB HyperX Genesis and never had any problems. Make sure timings and volts are the same and it will work.

Thanks for the answers. I was running 4gb and 2gb sticks for a while( different manufacture, same mhz and volts) but the 2gb stick i put it on my sisters computer and i want to get higher freq. ram but i don't have money for full kit(2x4gb) right now. Anyway i will risk i will buy one hyperx kingston 1600 mhz and hope they will both work on 1333mhz for a while.

Do not mix your RAM. Wait, save up the $40, then buy a new set.

You will not notice any difference between RAM running at 1333 and 1600 anyway.
