I have 8gb of Kingston Hyperx Fury and they are working currently with Kingstons HyperX Beast 8gb modules. both have the same voltages.. and timings and the system seems stable. Is this safe to run full time then?

thanks guys :)

Run a few 3d benchmarks, also a run through with memtest, and if You don't get any BSOD's or other
crash's, then good to go.

I have completely mismatched Ram, 2x2 GB and 2x4 GB, different voltages and timings, but worked fine
after some time finding settings that both would work ok at.

 
I had on my old PC, 2x2 GB DDR2 1000 CL5 + 1x2GB DDR2 800 CL5
All on same voltage, I paid attention to this point before buying.
I set them manually from BIOS to DDR2 800 CL 5 and I saw no problems at all.
Everything was stable.

Did that 3 years long before getting a complete new PC (E3-1231V3) last year.
