Question Ram timing and mixing

[mantinziza]

I’ve been working a lot with this lately, but I still need some help. I bought 2 new ram sticks due to thinking I fried my old pair, apparently I burnt out my cpu.... not my stocks, that’s another story. Any way my motherboard can handle 4 Sticks and I’ve only been using 2. I’d like to just keep the new ones and up my ram to 16gb total.

The voltage is the same 1.5 volts on all 4. All 4 are 2133 MHz.

But timings on 2 of them are

11-11-11-30

And the other 2 are

11-12-12-27

I’ve been reading in other places that’s it’s possible to mix them but not a guarentee, I haven’t found any thing in regards to the timings. so I would appreciate some more input before I fry something else, thank you all

Such combinations often result in the memory no longer being able to operate at rated specifications.
Workarounds to get them working together include:
Lower memory clock speed
Relax DRAM timings
Increase DRAM voltage

it should work, i am currently running 3 different sticks of ram in my pc
it just works as fast as the weakest stick of ram in terms of performance

i wouldn't worry too much about it, the difference is minimal, only visible in benchmarks

besides more ram is always better then less, faster ram
