[SOLVED] Can I use 2 HyperX Savage with different CL and speed ?

[Verthon]

Hello everyone. I would like to buy another 8gb RAM to my PC for dual channel 16gb , but I cannot find exactly same HyperX Savage DDR4 2400MHz CL12 - will it be ok to pair it with another HyperX Savage but for example CL13 2133MHz or 2800Mhz CL14? Thanks.

My PC spec

• AMD Ryzen 3 1200
• MOBO: MSI A320M PRO-VD PLUS (MS-7B38)
• RX 570
• RAM HyperX Savage CL12 2400MHz

• Size	8192 MBytes
  Max bandwidth	DDR4-2134 (1067 MHz)
  Part number	KHX2400C12D4/8GX
  Serial number	A210AB16

It will work, however, I recommend the same exact model and revision of system memory, if at all possible. If you just want 16 GB, a new kit might be feasible for you, and wouldn't cost much more.

3200 MHz for $78:

2400 MHz for $60:

first one https://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/HX424C12SB_8.pdf could not find the other and they will work as single channel ram .

i dont recomend mixxing memory it might create some little less performance .you may notice maybe not.

 

[sizzling]

Mixing RAM even if the same make and model can have stability issues. RAM is sold in matched kits for a reason. Will it work, it might but it might not.

Memory manufacturers don't guarantee such combinations to be compatible together. You can make any combinations you want with no guarantees.

What is guaranteed is memory in the form sold. For example, single module or kit of four modules.

I wouldn’t try that.
Though it might work, it will run at the lowest speed, with issues when trying to enable XMP profiles.

I’d sell the module and buy a kit of 2.

Thanks for replies. It's time for new RAM. Last question, which one will be better CL16 but 3200MHz or CL15 3000MHz ? Is it possible to overclock it on my cheap motherboard "MSI A320M PRO-VD PLUS (MS-7B38)" ?

 

[davidgirgis]

Well, that's going to be hard to tell. I would go with the CL16 3200MHz. Ryzen favors faster frequency memory. Real-world applications may not see much of a difference, but I recommend at least 3200MHz for Ryzen, maybe even 3600MHz, if the bill fits your budget.

Not sure about overclocking your memory, for like 1-2 fps difference. That may be an imperceptible difference. However, please make sure that you select your memory's X.M.P. profile, under the D.O.C.P. settings.

I’d choose 3200MT/s CL16
