I currently possess four RAM modules. Two are 8GB capable with speeds up to 1600MHz using CL11 and CL9, while the other two are 4GB with a maximum of 1333MHz using CL9. I've experienced memory problems when RAM is low, including occasional blue screens, though they're infrequent. I plan to swap the 4GB sticks for the larger 8GB ones. They also operate at 1600MHz but have different timings: 8-8-8-24. Can I adjust those timings from CL8 to CL11 to align with the other sticks? My goal is to set all RAM to CL11, matching the slowest unit, though I'm curious if that approach will resolve the issues. I've already reduced the speeds of the two 4GB sticks to 1333MHz to match the 4GB sticks.

For optimal performance, it's recommended to purchase RAM from the same manufacturer as your previous setup, ensuring matching speed and timing specifications.

The system usually optimizes and runs RAM at the slowest component speed. I don’t remember well, but it seems the control knob isn’t adjustable.
