Hey guys. I currently have 2x4gb running in dual channel and I want to put another two sticks of ram with 4gb each, making a total of 4x4gb.

My current RAM is CL11 and the ones I saw are CL9, everything else is the same (DDR3, 1600mhz, 1.5V, etc.).

So my doubt is if I will experience any problems by having 2 CL11 in dual channel and another CL9 also in dual channel. My MoBo is a ASUS H81-Gamer.

Thank you!

If I were to buy this new set there would be 2 sets. I wouldn't move the channels. My current ones would still be in the same place and I would simply add the other two to the other channels. By colors: 1 set on the Gray and another on the Black. Not like 1 part of a set on a black channel and another on a gray. I hope I made that clear, my english isn't the best.

 

I just want to know if I can actually use the other two I was planning to buy (https://www.amazon.com/G-Skill-F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL-PC3-12800-RipjawsX-9-9-9-24/dp/B004I763AW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495046625&sr=8-1&keywords=gskill+ripjaws+x+series+8gb) or not and what the best solution would be for me.
 

Thinbg is, it would be a lot cheaper to get 2x4 than 2x8... what if I buy 2 new sticks exactly like the ones I have?
 


They won't be running at 1600 MHz.

* Due to Intel® chipset limitation, H81-GAMER can only support single-side memories when four modules are installed and they will run at the maximum transfer rate of DDR3 1066 MHz.
