I recently purchased a desktop from a student that was eager to sell as he was due to leave the UK the next day... I got the following setup for just £40:
Tower/Case: unknown brand (and very flimsy)
PSU: CIT M-500MB 500W micro ATX
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-H81-M-S2H
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460
Graphics Card: ASUS Dual GeForce GTX-1060-O3G
Storage: SSD Crucial BX500 2.5" Internal Sata 3
RAM: 16GB DDR3
Kingston KHX1600C10D3/8G - 8GB DDR3
Kingston 99U5403-465.A00LF - 8GB DDR3
Also included 1080p ASUS screen and cooler master keyboard... not a bad deal in my opinion.
Anyways, moving on to the point of this post:
One of the RAM modules is PC3-10700 (667 MHz) and the other is PC3-12800J (800MHz) - I quoted from CPU-Z SPD tab.
I'm not concerned about the different frequency values, I'm aware that the system would default to the lower of the two (and it does - CPU-Z memory tab confirms it).
What I am concerned about are the latency timings...
Please can someone tell me if I am wrong in my understanding that the Memory tab timings should match the SPD tab timings for all slots used? - in other words, if I mixed two RAM modules with different latency spec's, the system should set the memory timings so that they match JEDECs for both modules.
Memory tab shows 9 - 9 - 9 - 25
SPD tab slot 1 shows 9 - 9 - 9 - 27 (closest match)
SPD tab slot 3 shows 9 - 9 - 9 - 24 (closest match)
Can anyone tell me if I should expect any performance / stability issues with this setup?
Thanks in advance!
