Hey! You're looking to upgrade your PC by swapping RAM sticks. The new model you're considering is Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB with CL16 and 3000MHz. You want to keep the same version but change from CL15 to CL16, running them in dual-channel. I’ll check if mixing them works based on latency differences.

The voltage should be listed next to the timing details.

It depends on what you mean by "work." Adjusting the largest and smallest timing values might optimize performance or resource usage in your specific context.

Both units operate at 1.35V. First model features a frequency of 3000 MHz and 16GB storage, one module. Second model also runs at 3000 MHz with 16GB capacity, but uses CAS numbers 16-20-20-38 and maintains 1.35V operation.

It should function perfectly regardless of whether the timing is higher or lower—just give it a try. I only needed a voltage since it varies a lot, which could have caused issues, but with the same voltage it should operate smoothly.

I combined DDR3 sticks together. One kit had 2+2GB with 1.5V and 1600MHz, another had 4+4GB at 1.35V and 1333MHz. Everything worked smoothly. Likely CL varied a bit, but you can mix them with high confidence—usually no problems. Use the CMP Profile for best results. Consider enabling XMP; adjust CL to 16 if needed. Motherboards often adopt the faster profile automatically. Fun tip about RAM: many overlook that 8+8+16GB works well in dual channel. A good setup would be 8GB in Channel A and 16GB in Channel B.

I just added the memory. But... we could run into an issue. *cpu : AMD Ryzen 5 2600X* *mobo : https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B45...-rev-1x#kf I will explain step by step: 1. Install RAM 2. First start-up - blue screen appears 3. Turn on BIOS, disable XMP 4. Second start-up - Windows functions properly and RAM runs at 2133mhz at CL15 (confirmed via CPU-Z and Task Manager) 5. Go back to BIOS, adjust frequency and timings to manual: Frequency multiplier 30.00 (3000mhz), CL : 16, RCDRD : 20, RCDWR : 20, RP : 20, RAS : 38 6. Press f10 to save changes* 7. Third start-up - Windows starts but frequency stays at 2133mhz at CL15 (again checked on CPU-Z and Task Manager) What steps should I take to enable full RAM performance?

Hey there! When combining RAM, things can go wrong. You might want to open the BIOS settings and adjust the settings yourself, choosing the slower module's specs. If that fails, just use the standard JEDEC speed setting.

I attempted to fix it, but I’m unsure why the bios game didn’t preserve my settings. I included the motherboard and CPU in the update so others could try those configurations. Thanks for helping!
