Mix ram speed

[muzu1031]

Is it possible to mix memory sticks with different brand and speed? Eg: 1st slot; Team - Elite 8 GB DDR4-2666 Memory, 2nd slot; Kingston - HyperX Predator RGB 8GB DDR4-3200 Memory.

Yes. but i not recommend. as your will be able to use total 16gb ram but at minimum speed of 2666MHz. as your team elite 8gb.. or even your pc willl not post (possibly)

Never mix ram. At worst it doesn't work at best your ram runs in mixed mode with a hefty performance penalty. Only use the exact same make and model ram (cl, cmd rate, capacity, speed must all be identical) and even that won't guarantee that the new stick will play well with your old one. The only sure fire way to make sure they play nice is to buy a dual channel kit and replace all your ram. I personally try the same make and model first...if it fails I return it and buy a whole new kit, just like I am advising you to do now.
