Question Need help determining compatibility

[jaymes2015]

I’m about to purchase these DDR3 rams from different guys so I just want to know if the rams are compatible with each other before I buy them. Thanks.

You won't know if there compatible until you put both into your system. Memory is finicky and even adding a identical kit the system may not even boot.

You mean you try to run them on the same system?
the only way to know is to run and test. Only ram kit are tested together.

Ok damn I didn’t know this.

What if they both came in pairs? I can run total of four slots with two pairs?

If they came as a kit then they would of been tested to work together.

For what's worth though the last few systems that I added memory into worked fine but they were identical kits.

They should work together fine, but no guarantees. Just remember all the memory will operate at the speed of the slowest stick of memory.

Ok. That’s probably what I mean like buying two ram kits and run them together. Sorry for my explanation in my first question. So, there’s possibility for different pairs of ram together if different kits have identical specifications?

It's possible, I mean even kits with different specs could work together although speed is determined by the slowest stick. There's just no way to tell what kits would work with other kits unless you try it.

Understood! You explained it well. Thanks.
