DDR3 memory compatibility

[Mr3uk]

Hi guys,

Theres a bit of a long story involved in the reasons for doing this so Ill just see if anyone knows without explaining why.

I have 4gb of OCZ platinum http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-271-AS (q9550 on Asus striker II extreme nforce 790i)

I am wondering if I can add 4gb of this ram http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-172-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1387 to the system?

I had some problems with the OCZ platinum on this board at first because the motherboard was only giving it 1.6v. Once I managed to get into the bios tho and set it to 1.9v it has been working. The system does freeze though at least once a day and I am almost 100% sure it is because of the ram.

So the basic question is will 2 different voltage dual channel kits work on this motherboard or will I fry the corsair if I plug it in and try and boot without clearing the cmos first.

I apologise if I am not very clear, I havent had anything to do with computer parts since I first built this machine around a year ago so my memory is a little foggy on certain terminology.

Thanks for the reply Plec. After hearing that I think I will just bin the platinum sticks. I think it is too late to rma them had them for quite a while now and there where a lot of issues with this particular brand of memory on this mobo. Shame I didnt research just a little bit more about that before buying!

Ill get the corsair in there and run mem test for a few hours. If the problems are cleared up with this ram then I will most likely order another 4gb later on

Thanks again for the help!

edit: Reason for asking if they would run well together was incase there was an option to run different voltages for each dual channel kit. Im not prepared to over volt the new set though so I will give it a miss.

Thanks again Plec, I dont know about decisiveness, probably more likely impatience haha.

Ill have to pop out and get some blank cd's tommorow so I can run memtest unless theres some way to run something from windows? I am pretty sure that is what stopped me running memtest in the first place, and I just learned to live with the freezes.

It will be handy if I find a fault with them and can get a new set to sell as you suggested.

Thanks!
