Built my PC in 2014:
i5 4690K
2x4GB 1600 mhz DDR3 RAM
Upgraded to GTX 1660 Super
Asus maximus VII Ranger
Not ready to upgrade my motherboard and CPU just yet so I am looking to simply buy more DDR3 RAM and hope that it will give me some performance boost until l I have money to upgrade.
Currently have lots of microstuttering and I hope to alleviate that with more RAM.
Saw a deal on some used RAM (2x8GB 1333 mhz), and was wondering can I pair it with the 2x4 GB that I'm running now. My current RAM is rated for 1600 mhz but its running at 1333mhz currently for unknown reason.
I know that combining different speed RAM will run all sticks on lower speed but as that's basically what's happening now its not an issue for me.
Any reason this wouldn't be a good idea?
