8,8,8,24 and 9,9,9,24 memory mix ?

[gerry410]

Hi all, I have a triple channel 3 x 2 6GB set of Corsair Dominator memory (CMP6GX3A1600C8).
I want to add a set of CORSAIR DOMINATOR 12GB (3 x 4GB) (12800) CMP12GX3M3A1600C9.

The timings on the new 3x4 12GB set are 9,9,9,24.
Older sticks timings for the 3x2 (6GB) set are 8,8,8,24.
Both are 1.65 volts and DDR3 1600.

I understand I can relax the timings on the 8,8,8,24 6GB set but I'm not sure how to start.

Should I install :

1) the 8,8,8,24's and relax the timings to 9,9,9,24 then add the 12 GB set.

or

2) Install the 12GB 9,9,9,24 set first then the 8,8,8,24 6GB set?

I don't know what are the cautions I should take.

Thanks all
