Any difference in speed between this RAM

I'm currently using 2 X 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 Memory Kit (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9) Corsair Vengeance http://www.corsair.com/en-gb/vengeance-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz8gx3m2a1600c9

I've recently purchased 2 X 8GB Patriot Viper 16GB 1600mhz DDR3 Dual Channel RAM http://www.patriotmemory.com/product/detail.jsp?prodline=5&catid=34&prodgroupid=239&id=1283&type=1as I need more RAM due to having various instances of the same application open at times which gets quite memory hungry

Using the Viper RAM would I likely notice any performance loss in games etc

Or should it be exactly the same

Got my RAM today, could someone please confirm it's running at proper speeds?

Thanks mate do I need to change anything ? Is the timings thing an issue ?

Drake5 · 26 Apr 2015 at 11:47

Do you know what the setting is usually called for changing that in the bios ?

Drake5 · 26 Apr 2015 at 11:59

In order for me to change that setting I have to change Dram timing mode from auto to link or unlink. Which one should I have it on

I've just changed it from 2 to 1 - What do I need to look at in cpu z to make sure it's done

Cheers

Any idea about link or unlink not sure which to set it on

CPU-z shows 1T

From reading online it seems that link is for when you don't want to mess with memory timings and unlink is when you want to change
