Combining 2x2GB DDR3 1066MHz RAM with Asus B85M-G & Corsair DDR3 4GB: Compatibility & Profitability

Question

Hello. I currently have 2x 2GB DDR3 1066MHz RAM.

I put together a new computer and buy a motherboard Asus B85M-G and memory for her Corsair DDR3 4GB

Is it possible to insert these memories from the previous computer into this motherboard with this RAM memory without any problems? I read that only the timing will decrease. Is it profitable?

Greetings.

It is possible without any problems, just the whole memory will work at 1066MHz, is it worth it? It probably depends on the application, one will need more space, and the other will need more space.

With 3 slots filled, nothing bad should happen. If the controller does not make, the signs are like with damaged memories - resets, bsods, etc.

Leon165 · Answer

It is possible, but allocating all 4 slots on the board places a greater load on the controller and sometimes problems arise. You can manually increase the timings - your memory my low latency CL7 should go to 1333MHz with increasing latency to CL9.

There will be 3 memory slots. 1x4GB RAM 1333MHz and 2x2GB RAM 1066MHz. Rather, I will not increase to 1333MHz, let it be 1066. What problems may occur?

Hi, I have a question, it's been a while since the last post on this topic. I have 8GB DDR4 3000Mhz at home, as far as I know, you can do OC for 3200 and I would like to buy another 8GB, but already 3200. How is it with OC RAM ?! if I do not do OC, I understand that I will have 16GB 3000Mhz if I do OC 3200Mhz, then those with 3000Mhz will have OC 3200Mhz and those will work without OC? Or maybe it all argues with the OC of course ?!

Leon165 · Answer

Different memories turn up differently. With two memories, the OC will depend on the weaker one - the memory always works with the same parameters for both. It's best if you enter exactly what memory you have and what you want to buy.

I have 8GB XPG D41 3000Mhz and want to buy 8GB XPG D41 3200Mhz

Leon165 · Answer

Quite a few different D41's are Link In general, they will work together - the weaker will simply limit the better.

I know that much, I mean what in the case of OC ...?

It can also be done. Get yourself Thaiphoon Link , take a screenshot (there will be a button at the bottom of the window) and throw it here - we'll see what exactly is sitting there. Also put a link to the ones you want to buy.

Hi,
I will write with the question

I have originally
SAMSUNG 16GB DDR4-2400 UDIMM ECC Unbuffered CL17 Dual Rank
and I bought it
SAMSUNG 32GB Samsung ECC UNBUFFERED DDR4 2Rx8 2666MHz PC4-21300 UDIMM
I checked, and they both work on 2666 - does this mean that the system turned the 16 to 2666 and won't it affect errors?
I work in graphics and I wouldn't want bluescreen screens :)

configuration: Asus workstation WS C246 PRO, PNY Quadro P2000 5GB, Intel Xeon E-2136 TRAY

thanks

Probably these 2666 have CL19, which is basically the same as the 2400 CL17. If the album set it up that way, I wouldn't expect any trouble. Edit It is even possible that one of the 16GB JEDEC profiles has the 2666 CL19 saved - if there are more profiles (the popular CPU-Z shows only the last 4), you can view them all in the free Thaiphoon Link (for example - my memories have 16 JEDEC profiles saved). In theory, the 2400 CL17s are slightly faster than the 2666 CL19s 2666 CL19 = 14.25ns 2400 CL17 = 14.16ns
