[SOLVED] Different ram stick for accident

[thatskuroo]

Hello everyone, I'll try to be brief I need a help about a problem with my ram sticks.
When I first built my desktop pc, for a matter of availability, I had to buy two different ram sticks.
Accidentally I bought those with different frequencies, and because of that it happens very often that my pc stutters or freezes for a second whatever i'm doing, even in games.
Unfortunately, when I figured out the problem the time to be refunded about the sticks expired.
So my question is, in the meantime I buy another bank equal to one of the two, is there a way in the bios to set the current ones as similarly as possible?

These are the first stick info and these the second one.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what you mean.....but if you can get a stick that's like either one of the first two.....I would power down and try the two matched sticks without doing anything to the BIOS.

I think they may work fine.

Maybe what I said didn't make lot of sense
At the moment I can't buy the other ram stick, and I was wondering if in the meantime, something like frequencies or some other values can be set similar between those two sticks, at least to solve this freezing problem.

I don't think so.
Usually the memory settings in the BIOS affect all the sticks.
You can't set specific settings for each stick.

Okay, so I guess the only way I can fix this problem is to buy another equal stick.

Mixing RAM not bought as a single kit is not guaranteed to work without issues even if you buy the exact same make and model. It might work, it might not. RAM is sold in matched kits for a reason. See the odd man out section here https://forums.tomshardware.com/faq...y-ram-and-xmp-profile-configurations.3398926/

If you want to guarantee compatibility then buy a 2 stick kit, not individual sticks.

You can try and run both sticks at the Kingston stick's speed. 2666 Mhz, 15-17-17-etc. Doesn't hurt to try.
