Mixing Ram sticks of different revisions

[jasonkang93]

Hi so i had Red Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB ram 9-9-9-24 (cmz8gx3m2a1600c9) for a while and decided to increase my ram size to 16 gb and went ahead bought the same ram with same timings (cmz8gx3m2a1600c9) but with a different color this time. I noticed however in cpu-z and aida64 the xmp profile differs (1.2vs1.3) and that the v1.3 profile has different RC, RFC, RRD, and FAW than the v1.2 profile. Will this cause any problems?

Probably. That's why mobo makers only recommend tested kits.

Do you know how i can go about testing to see if I have an unstable ram setup?

Put it in and run your PC. Any problems, then remove what you put in.

Ive been gaming for hours now and havent seen anything unusual. Am i in the clear?

You'll never know.

Do you know if I can manually set the timings to the v1.2 settings and if itll work?

You said "bought the same ram with same timings"?

Well both products are listed as 9-9-9-24 @1.5v &1600mhz but when i load aida 64 or cpu-z the advanced timings for the xmp profile are different. They are identical other than color and purchase date (same serial numbers too)

You should talk to Corsair.
