Question CAS9 vs CAS10 DDR3 1600 MHz

[MayhemIam007]

Hello all,

I'm currently running a single channel memory module from Kingston. The memory currently installed is in a single channel config and the manufacturer number is Kingston Hyper-X Savage HX316C9SR/8.

Now I'm looking to purchase another dimm module which is also a Kingston Hyper-X Savage. And now for the question.

The current 8 Gig module vs the one I want to purchase is not the same model number. The one 1 want to purchase is Kingston HyperX FURY HX316C10FR/8

I've looked at both spec sheets and the only difference I could see is that the HX316C9SR/8 has CAS latency of 9-9-9 @ 1.5V (and has an XMP profile which the other does not) and the HX316C10FR/8 has a CAS latency of 10-10-10 @ 1.5V. Will I run into compatibility issues if I pair the 2 modules together? PS....As I understand it the module with the better CAS rating will be forced to 10-10-10 CAS rating.

Price difference is about $30 ( HX316C10FR/8 vs HX316C9SR/8 )

Thanks for the help!

If have to buy separately, keep to same specs for best chances. Different timings running together tips the odds.

Where are you buying from? Can you get onto Newegg?
