H All,
Thanks for looking in. I have 16gb and was going to add the other 16gb's but went to find it and it is not around (at least on NewEgg) Must I use the same ram? Or are there issues when not matching?
This is what I am using now : Kingston Blue - KHX1600C10D3B1K2/16G

Using sets of RAM with different latency is always a risky move. Will it work? Flip a coin.

Perhaps just as relevant a question: What do you need 32 GB of memory for? If it's gaming, forget it; you won't even touch 16 GB and the other 16 GB will just sit there unused.
 


Nice read Tradesman 1, Like dye lots... But if you do not have 350 to dump 105, upgrade sounds better. You mention it is tuneable, is that a fiasco or is it something a novice can do with the BIOS like my z77 asrock extreme 6 with a flash bios?
I noted these two the difference appears in cycles not latency. As well one looks tuneable as well.

This is what I bought for my first install

You can try mixing them, a problem that has affected many with these sticks if that the they operate differently the Fury run off PnP (they set themselves up where the other runs off the more traditional XMP, so if they will play will nprob need manual set up. Big thing is if they will even play together as they also use different memory ICs
