    Adding this for other enthusiasts that may run into this oddness.. I build systems typically with older hardware to save on costs. Recently built an Unraid system for my home that I have been very happy with, but recently ran into sporadic parity issues. Assisted by that great community, we tracked in back to the RAM, but not for the usual reasons. I am using an ASUS X99-a USB 3.1 with an Intel Core i7-5930K CPU @ 3.50GHz. This is a quad channel motherboard with 8 DIMM slots. As per the ASUS manual, I installed 4 Kingston HyperX Fury 8 Gb modules all in one quad channel. My mistake; I bought two dual channel kits, not one quad channel kit. Turns out, everything worked... most of the time. But running Memtest pointed to issues and errors with the setup. When I reinstalled the same RAM as dual channel in the top DIMM slots of quad channel bank, everything ran smooth. Weird, eh?

    This is a really interesting video. Nice work guys. I always wondered why ram modules couldn't be mixed if they're very similar and have similar time configurations especially since all those specs can be tweaked. You also spoke about an AMD design that can handle multi or mixed RAM speeds by design. I'd like to find out if the ASUS' Zephyrus. The mid tier gaming laptops with quite a lot of bank4buck squozen into them. You guys did a expo on the new models recently. I have a 2021 model and it came with 8gb DDR4-3200x1 paired with 8gb 3200 soldered to the board. There's only one so-dimm.... so, dems the best hardware configurations possible. The specs say it can see up to 24gb but I can only do it if I buy a 16gb stick. Many people say that I'm going to lose dual channel the very second I do this. However, just as many other say that it will perform in dual channel up until it surpasses the dual channel's max capacity. Honestly, I was beginning to side with the naysayers, that it likely will disable dual channel upon install. After hearing what you were saying about AMD I started wondering if maybe they implemented something like that in the Zep. I'm not even sure where I could find such info.

Those were some old ass ram sticks i bought with the pc like 10 years prior at 4gb x2 with 8gb x2. Not sure I matched the proper slots 1-3, 2-4 either as I didn't know that until later.

    I've been mixing RAM since the second year of owning a PC. I've never gone for anything too crazy different between them, but different manufacturers, different brands and so forth. Honestly never noticed any issues. It was much later down that people cautioned against mixing ram, but I never really paid it much heed since I'd never had any problems. The minor performance issues probably matter more to someone trying to squeeze every last drop of performance out of their system, but I guess I'm just easy to please.

    So wait, you're saying I've been wasting time trying to find a matching kit of 2x4 HyperX 2666 CL15 to add to my two sticks, and I should buy a vastly more popular 2666 CL16 version and it will 100% run in dual channel with my CL15 sticks, even with a mild overclock? That's a serious question by the way, I really am anxious about buying a mismatching kit. I heard a few years back, I think even from some tech KZreadr, that unless the speed and *every single timing* is matching on the second kit of ram, the dual channel won't work. And this video sounds kinda inconclusive, like what if I don't want to match a 2666 and 4000 kits like in the example. P. S. You know a person is desperate when they seek tech advice from strangers on KZread.

(In seriousness though in my experience mixing ram, it usually is limited by the weakest link. The slowest RAM will slow down other sticks that can run faster) I would love to see a video where you guys mix DDR3 & DDR4 on some of those systems that support both. Ps: ily Linus.

    Hey people! I want to add some personal experience to this this video - long story short - secondary and tertiary timings matter a lot as well when mixing and long term system instability can happened (random crashed no matter what after a few hours). But can be tuned to make the modules work together. The complete story is as follows - I have 2 different sticks from Kingston due to a needed upgrade to my system 2 years ago for the ultimate minecraft mod pack (yeahhh, 600+ mods and 8GB of RAM wasn't enough and yeah, I like minecraft) - I was on a very tight budget so a set of dual 8GB modules was out of the question and the original cheap stick was not available at all, even second hand. So I went second hand hoping to get lucky. The "new" one is rated at 2400, while the old one is 2133, both Kingston with the same primary timings. However, unpredictable crashes started happening after random amount of hours - might be after 1, might be 2, might be 10, which stress tests didn't reveal. And the frequency of them was growing month after month (I wounder why). I tracked it down to the the memory mismatch and had to actually down speed them to 1833 and get a lot worse timings to get the system to stop crashing so often. Worse yet, the crashing was not completely gone, just happened very, very seldom. A couple of months ago I got a second hand Z170 motherboard and got the exact same problem. So I decided to tackled this again and asked the wonderful folks at the LTT forum for some help. And someone suggested it could be the secondary and tertiary timings that are causing problem. So I set aside a weekend, read up on those timings (tuns out motherboard BIOS holds them, not the sticks), plugged in each module individually and recorded the 2ndary and 3iary timings. After comparing them, they didn't seem that off, but decided to stick with the slowest ones from both (basically mixed them) and decreased the refresh interval. Aaaaand all worked! The system was stable for 24 hours at 2400MHz none the less! ^^ Buuuut it doesn't end there - I overclocked the 2 modules to 2666 without a problem, 2800 was also possible, but not completely stable (even with more voltage). Maybe again the 2nd and 3rd timings? :p Best part - the H110 motherboard I have also allows for tweaking the secondary and tertiary timings! (but no overclocking for the RAM, soooo 2133 max speed). I hope someone finds this helpful and sorry for the long comment! Love your vids and wonderful community Linus and all that help make them! ^^

    I did this back when DDR3 was a few years old, I wanted to upgrade and bought some random DDR3 stick. It worked fine but when I wanted to get more RAM later on and did the same thing I had to fiddle around in the bios (and I was in high school if I remember correctly) which was a lot of pressure, thinking I could just screw everything up. Anyhow, I got it working in the slowest speed RAM's clock speed and it all worked out fine, but still, I was a lot more careful after that...

    I bought a prebuilt before I knew about PC parts. Sadly it only came with a single stick of DDR4 8GB. A year later after that, I wanted to expand the ram but I couldn't find the same stick that had came with my PC, so I bought a stick off Amazon, I made sure to find the same size and speed. It all worked fine and it got me to 16GB with no problems. A year after that though, I wanted another stick of ram but I couldn't find the same stick that came with my PC or the one that I had bought prior. So I ended up buying two more sticks with the same speed and size and it worked. So now I have 4 sticks, each with 3000mhz, and 3 different types of brands. I haven't noticed a single issue and my PC is running great.

My new computer from EK Fluid Gaming came with 2x8GB Trident Z 3200mhz. the Trident Z were CL16, and i was kinda shocked to find out my old ripjaws were CL14... so of course I put the Ripjaws in the B channel on my new rig and set them both to 3200mhz CL16 I wasnt sure if it was a good idea because of the myth, but it definitely didnt hurt anything, and I guess I'll find out if it helps when I get around to giving my computer a real workload.

That was the end of 2018, I think, and it's been running perfectly for me ever since. I didn't run any benchmarks or anything, but I haven't noticed any performance differences.

    Yeah, as far as I saw it will be no problem, unless you trying to go for xmp way above slowest modulr

    Exactly this. Most people having 4 RAM slots get at start 2 stick to run in dual channel and then as time goes there's option to put another 2 sticks which are different. They should test this but they did not. I would like to get an answer what configuration of slots is optimal for pairing different sticks for dual channel. Should each channel should be exactly the same (so 2 different sticks per channel) or is it better to put one brand in first channel and other is second channel?

    @@ademiravdic yeah, I really didn't get what they were going for. Obviously you're not going to be able to clock way above the slowest stick, so that was hardly news (getting a 2666 stick up to 4000?). I'd be more interested in what happens if you're running at 3600 or whatever (maybe XMP), and you buy another set of 3600 RAM with comparable timings, or maybe a faster set. Does that cause issues? That seems like the sort of scenario an enthusiast would actually run into. And of course run it at the slower of the two timings.

    @@RichFreeman Agreed. I can't be bothered manually messing around with overclocking, but might want to upgrade from basic XMP 16GB to 32GB and just happy if I don't see a performance drop. You're unlikely to be able to overclock a *matched pair* of 2666 sticks up towards 4000 without a lot of luck and much manual tweaking, why would they choose that as their test scenario for unmatched sticks/pairs? Out of touch will real users comes to mind.

    Free RAM is open-source, so you should be able to find multiple sites with compatible RAM. Just make sure the toolbar you install looks the same and you should be good

    I have an asus tuf B450, Using the latest bios update to date with a Ryzen 5 5600x, I use to use 2 different kits of 16GB ram gskill F4-3200C16D-16GVKB. Individually, they could reach 3200Mhz, but together (using the DOCP profile) they both reached a maximum of 27333Mhz at 1.35 volts with my old Ryzen 5 2600. After changing the processor (Ryzen 5 2600) I got the same behavior with these kits BUT, I decided to test the DOCP profile, but, pushing the voltage up at 1.37,5. Wooalah! It's working now, memtest pass. 2 different kits of ram (same brand, same model). Great Brand Gskill, great Motherboard (ASUS B450 upgraded BIOS for Zen 3). Great CPU, Ryzen 5 5600x.

    I have [Klevv Kras-X (8x2_16gb) 3200mhz (16-18-18-38) 1.35v] and its somewhat hard to find in my area and its more expensive than other RAMS so I went to buy [TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan-Z 16x2_32gb) 3200mhz (16-20-20-40) 1.35v] and at first finding the proper slot for the ram is problematic but after few trials everything worked and XMP set all my RAMS to 3200mhz (16-18-18-38) 1.35v at a total of 48gb RAM size and how I thought timings would be (16-20-20-40) hmmm, first time doing it and so glad it worked well together without problems. Thanks Linus!
