    Are these the actual screen shots as the memory is currently running? I didn't think you could run different voltages on the memory slots a the same time.

    Did you attempt to find RAM of the same speed or voltage?

    Or not?

    I'm surprised you got past boot with the different voltages. It would be interesting to see how Windows (Resource Monitor) has that memory blocked out. As in one module going to Hardware Reserved. I also wonder if it will pass a memory test.

    Is it fine?

    Please run Memtest on the RAM to see.
    Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
    Boot from the Memtest media before bedtime and let it run through the night. A minimum of 5 passes to get a basic test result, 8 or 9 passes to get a thorough result.

    Then you will know.

    you remind me to use a diagnostic tool come with my dell laptop " epsa pre-boot system assessment" ,
    I did the test and it all passed ok ! is fine the the difference of the voltage ? wont damage the motherboard or the cpu or the old ram ? or will it make the cpu very hot ? I don't know

    I noticed you posted at EightForums too.

    Over there CountMike said the SPD tab you are showing does not display the actual voltage your memory is running at, only what it is capable of.

    It is my understanding that you can only run one voltage at a time for all memory/slots, if this is correct, you are probably running the lowest voltage (1.35V) on both slots and the slowest timing on both chips. Meaning that your faster memory is running at the slower speed.

    If you run the MemTest86+ for eight passes without failure, then I 'd say you'll be fine. But you still won't be getting the best performance out of your memory.
