Compatibility, Corsair, and GSkill

[pipinhot2]

I currently have 4GB, (2x2GB) GSkill RipjawsX 1600Mhz ram, and i just bough 8GB (2x4GB) of Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz, Low profile.

Can these two sets work together on a P67A-GD55?

It's always recommended to mix the RAMs that have the same timings/speed/voltage and are from the same manufacture.
Since you already have bought it,then the best thing is to test it.Just make sure you set the RAM settings manually in the BIOS

Ta good answer, i was not thinking of voltages, yet i think they both sit at 1.5v, i think i might be lucky.

The only difference i definitely can see is the timings GSkill is at 6-8-6-24 and Corsair is at 9-9-9-24.

Shouldn't the PC just work at the speed of the Corsair kit? or should i manually increase the timings of the Gskill Kit.

Thanks, fellas, gals, Dudets?

Well,I don't think it'll work without BSODs on "auto" settings,but it's worth the try.
You should manually increase the timings of the G.skill or decrease the timings of the Corsair one.
