cl9 and cl10 compatibility

[Velstyde]

Hey there!

So I actually have 2x Kingston HyperX 4GB 1600 CL9 (2x4), and I've found a really good offer of the Kingston HyperX 8GB 1600 but CL10 (8x1)...

Also, I was wondering if 8GB in one piece wouldn't be limited by bandwith.

But I'm not really sure what the effects of mixing them would be. And yeah, I'm basically asking if I should buy it or not. I need some extra RAM fast, so fast answers are much appreciated.

PS. I just remembered that it might help you knowing that my MoBo is an ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 with i7-3770k.

Thanks in advance.

I would not mix them if you need extra ram replace your 2 with 2 x 8GB.

Never a good idea to mix DRAM with DDR3
