Hello, i have 3x2gb, 1600Mhz, CL-9-9-9-24 , 1.65V
i want to add another stick of 2gb, 1600Mhz, CL-9-9-9-24 , 1.5V

will it work properly?

Thank you.
 
Solution
Most likely it can, the issue is you probably need the new sticknto have a heatspreader. The old memory will need 1.65v so you'll have to use that much on the new one. Could cause a heating issue if it doesnt have a heatsink. There is no guarantee a mixed set will work, there is a reason they sell ram in multistick kits, its to ensure they can work together
