Could I combine those memories?

[MaxSteel01]

So, right now, I got Ripjaws, running on 1600MHz 9 9 9 24. 2x2 GB of those. They run on 1.5v

I also got my slightly older Mushkin laying somewhere here - 2x2GB as well. They are designed to run 1600Mhz 7 7 8 18 on 1.8v~1.85v

So, I'm thinking about running the Mushink on 9 9 9 24, but lowering the voltage to around 1.6v, and running it together with the Ripjaws to get 4x2GB - do you think this has a decent chance to work?

(I'm asking it here first, cause if I try to do it I'll have to remove the CPU cooler every time I change memory, and it's quite a bit of work to just test if this has a chance to work).

No. I would sell both and go with a set of 2x4gb when you find some on sale for under $50. Mixing ram with different voltage specs can cause all kinds of issues.

Thanks for the answer.

I was thinking of just buying and throwing in another 2x2 or 2x4 Ripjaw X - of the same Voltage/MHz/Timings - for a total of 8GB or 12GB.
Should that work fine?
