[SOLVED] Different brand RAM on Dual channel configuration

[marvin2015]

Hi, I have a MSI Intel H97M-G43 motherboard and it is currently equipped with Corsair Vengeance 2x8gb Dual channel RAM configuration.

I am currently planning to fill remaining 2 slots with HyperX Fury 2x8gb RAM also dual channel.

My question is will there be any problem if I'm using RAM from different brand, will it still be compatible and support dual channel?

The answer to your question can be found in the second section, titled "Odd man out", here:

How To - Troubleshooting problems with PC memory (RAM) and XMP profile configurations

In the beginning, there was......BIOS Before you go ANY further, go to the manufacturer product page for your specific motherboard model AND revision. Revision is an important aspect because for any given motherboard there may be more than one version of that model which will be identified...

The short answer, is maybe, and maybe not. Reading my memory guide should pretty well answer any questions you have regarding the use of mixed memory.

Today I installed my new RAM and its working as expected in dual channel mode @ 1600MHz.
