Garvin Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Mixing brands of ram unfortunately isn't a good idea nowadays. Dual-channel capable memory controllers prefer seeing identical IC's populating each stick and between sticks. Dual-channel is also only available when running two or four sticks and not with three. If all three sticks will run at all, they'll be running in single-channel mode (versus the faster dual-channel mode). When mixing sticks (if they'll run together at all) the timings should be initially set to match the slowest timings of the sticks, in your case 3-3-3-8 at a ddr ram voltage, also known as vdimm, of 2.7-2.8volts (nothing over 2.9volts, voids warantee). For maximum speed though, I'd stick with just the two Corsairs in the correct motherboard manual dictated dual-channel slots so you can run at 3-3-3-8 in dual-channel mode. Good luck.
