Hi guys
I have problem, i want to give my ram upgrade and add some.
And here is a problem, they have the same voltage, size, latency but a little different timings(?)
First one is adata z1 and have cl 16-18-18
And second is patriot viper steel cl 16-18-18-36
Will it cause any problems with compatibility?
 
Solution
It is not a recommended configuration.
RAM's should be from the same company, same speed, and timing.
It is better to buy the RAM sold as double or quad, so the risk of compatibility issues becomes nil.
Good mainboards can handle RAMs from different companies, and such a configuration can work but you must think about buying a double RAM package, and not install the older RAM modules.
