2 8GB sticks Corsair Dominator Platinum

[Prowlerguy]

Just received 2 8GB sticks of Corsair Dominator platinum, 2133MHZ speed. One is being used in an i5 3570K w/ASUS P8Z-77V. The other stick in a Gigabyte F2A 85X-UP4 w/AMD A10-6800K. I also have available 4 4gb sticks Corsair value, 1333MHZ. Would it be best to place both platinums in the same system, and place all 4 value sticks in the other system. I've read the AMD with APU requires more memory bandwidth, and thus am leaning to placing both platinums in the AMD system, and the 4 values in the Intel box. I am not a gamer, I do use the Intel box for some amateur video editing. Yes, this qualifies as a first world problem!

Like ram should be used with like ram.

Don't mix and match.

Even assuming you could the 2133 and 1333 to play it would all be at 1333 and the bulk in single channel - this is either the 16GB in one rig or split them and run 8GB in each and sell off the 1333 which hopefully you could get enough to put to a 2x4GB set for 1 rig or the other

Thank you for reply. Kind of figured this was way to go, put 16 gb in one system and get a set of 2x4GB.

Yep, best way to go, let us know how it turns out
