Hello, right now i have 8gb ram i just found my old 4GB ram DDR3, and i wonder if i can mix these badboys togheter? till 28june because in that date, i will upgrade my whole pc , (cpu,gpu,ram,mbu,psu)


Im playing a lot RUST and with 8GB im always out of memory because rust requirement is 16GB of ram.


8GB stick model ( KHX1600C10D3B1/8G)
4GB stick model ( KVR1333D3N9/4G)

both sticks is from Kingstone and both uses 1,5 Voltge , DDR3.
also my mb ram freq is 1333 MHz maximum i cant get 1600mhz , so my 8gb is running auto XMP profile setted to 1333MHz

but one thing my 8GB has 10 CL
and 4GB has 9 CL
but i readed that 8GB stick with my model, it supports 9CL, 8CL, 7 CL, or am missing something?


EDIT: My MB: H61H2-M12
CPU: i3-2100
-Evoo


AND if someone can give me Memory Test program or something that i can test if all is good.

Admirable
No problem with trying it - stick it in and see what you get.

Most likely outcome = it works, but your PC is now a bit slower.

Why do you need 12Gb anyway? 8 is plenty for most people.

BTW - best performance by far is if you have 2 completely identical sticks of RAM - that is why it is sold in kits of 2
