Hello... i need some help about ram information currently im using ddr3 kingston blu 1600mhz 2x stick (dual channel) i bought 2x more stick kingston hyperX 1600mhz but i can't get them all to work 4x 4gb (16gb)
hyperx and blu version should work together fine? when i mix them 1x blue 1x hyperx dual channel works fine but above 8gb it wont boot up just starts up and shouts down after 2-3sec i tryed to incrase the voltages for a bit and lower frequency of the ram still nothing...
here are the pictures of ram and model of motherboard

And if that's all OK, there's zero guarantee that the RAM sticks would work together. Even ones that are the same "model" aren't guaranteed to work together (technically, there's actually no such thing as a model of RAM, RAM is basically simply assigned a model based on how it performs). Only RAM that is packaged together is guaranteed to work together.
 
In theory they should work, both kits are a 1Rx8 kit. Looks like the Hyperx was a 3x4GB kit, fire up Memtest86 and test each stick. But like said above, even if the specs are exactly the same its still not guaranteed that the kits will work together.....as your finding out.

You might be able to up the voltage to 1.66v on the ram, bump the voltage just slightly on the memory controller, or loosen the timings to a CL12 T2orN2. Using all 4 slots puts a heavier load on the memory controller and it might need a bump in voltage to be stable.

okay about voltage but the else stuff idk what u mean here is a picture of whatever this is idk CL12 T2 N2

before playing with voltages give this a try. Set ram to 9-9-9-27 with a command rate of 2, leave all other settings to auto

According to the part numbers i read off the pictures the Blu are a 9-9-9 but dont give the last number but the hyperX are a 9-9-9-27, a command rate 2 will just give a little more headroom for timings

there is channel A and channel B i put those numbers on both as you said sadly it doesnt work also increased voltage to 1.66v (but without replacing those numbers) i do have 2 more spare sticks of 4gb ram max i could go is 12gb but different models, there is something about my motherboard here on pictures written in red which idk what does it mean maybe that's why these 4 sticks don't want to boot up (https://files.fm/u/7kgdn5fhh)
