purestone Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I recently bought 2x8gbs sticks of Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 1866Mz part# CMY16GX3M2A1866C9. I also have the regular Corsair Vengeance 2x4gbs sticks DDR3 1600Mhz part# CML8GX3M2A1600C9 and I would like to know if I can run these memory sticks together on my motherboard if I run the same memory timings of 9,9,9,24 and speed of 1600Mhz? Also will it damage my Cpu or motherboard? Thanks for the help Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees Corsair Henry Posted January 19, 2016 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 19, 2016 Mix and matching memory will not damage your mobo nor CPU, but it is not advised. To answer your question, you will need to physically try them out together to see if they work, due to the fact that they are not a matched memory kit. Do keep in mind that if they work together, your memory will down clock to the slowest of the 2 sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
