Question about mixing RAM
So I was just curious how much of a loss of performance or how much instability would increase if I mixed two different brands (two different Cas Latencies) in my build?
Right now I have this one:
Newegg.com - G.SKILL 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model F3-10600CL9S-2GBNT
Cas Latency/Timing - 9-9-9-24
But I was thinking of picking up this one:
2.0 GB Super Talent DDR3 PC3-10600 1333Mhz 240-Pin Memory with Black Heatsink (W1333UB2G8/WA133UB2G8) - DDR3 1333MHz (PC3-10600)
Cas Latency/Timing - 8-8-8-24
both same voltage (1.5V)
I've read that it isn't suggested but the threads that said that were 5 years old (google searched) so is that still the case? should I just go and buy the ones online instead of heading to the computer store later this afternoon?
