Will this work great or?

[offerz]

Its me, again..
so i was wondering if this would work. 2x4gb but diffrent brands. one from kingston and other one from crucial, will these work together in dual channel or single channel? and will performence will be lost? i really want to play battlefield 1 and 5 but i just dont have enough ram, i can save up 5$ more for the kingston one but waiting times are high and i can just cut the price in half and get the same capacity and mhz, 8th gen i3 8100 and asus prime h310m-d.

The only RAM guaranteed to work together without issue is RAM bought as a kit, for example a 2x8gb kit.

Mixing RAM always has a risk of issues, even the same make and model bought separately can have issues. Most of the time mixing RAM works ok if you are carful to minimise the difference between them (brand/model/speed/timings) but there is always a risk of having issues.

The only way you will know is to try it and see.

It may work.

It may also work somewhat but give you problems.

It may also not work at all.

It shouldn't hurt anything if it doesn't work.

 

[offerz]

what kind of problems?

 

[offerz]

its the same timing i guess

 

[jay32267]

what kind of problems?

I think crashes would be the main problem.

 

[offerz]

well, im buying another single channel ddr4 stick, so 2 of the exact same sticks wont hurt right?

 

[jay32267]

I think two of the exact same stick gives you a better chance of it working....but as I said....it may work with the sticks you have.

Although trying either shouldn't hurt anything.

 

[offerz]

nothing but my almost empty wallet haha

 

[offerz]

im gonna buy the same https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/458075/hyperx-fury-black-hx424c15fb-4.html on amazon and i will let you know!

 

[offerz]

Ordered on Amazon.de.

 

[jay32267]

Good luck. I think there's a good chance you will be OK.

 

[offerz]

Good luck. I think there's a good chance you will be OK.

Thank you,

 

[offerz]

im back, it arrived i tested it and it works so far, booted up windows and web browsing watching yt turned OK. im gonna test battlefield 5 with it

 

[jay32267]

Well that's a good sign.

 

[offerz]

indeed, its around 90% downloaded, cant wait to play the new doom eternal!

 

[jay32267]

That's on PC now? I love Doom 2016.

I tend to think if you didn't have a problem yet....you are "probably" OK in the games.


Guess we'll see.
