Sorry for bouncing same old question again

i'm already having a normal 4gb 1333 mhz stick, but if I pair it with corsair value 8gig 1600 mhz stick. will it run fine.
if i run both sticks does it will decrease life span of any parts such as mobo, gpu. ram itself
 
Solution
Ram is sold in kits for a reason.
A motherboard must manage all the ram using the same specs of voltage, cas and speed.
Ram from the same vendor and part number can be made up of differing manufacturing components over time.
Some motherboards can be very sensitive to this.
That is why ram vendors will NOT support ram that is not bought in one kit.

If it works at all, it will run at the lower 1333 speed.
Again, if it works, you are good, I know of nothing that will impact longevity of parts.

You could buy the 8gb stick, assuming it is compatible with your motherboard.
If both work, you have 12gb. 8gb will be dual channel, 4gb will be single channel.
Not a big issue.
If not you will have 8gb running single channel..

Verify ram...

Verify ram compatibility by going to the corsair web site and access their ram selection app.
Enter your motherboard and you will get a list of supported kits.
