DDR3 RAM and CAS question

elrasho · 6 Feb 2019 at 10:01

I currently have 2x4GB of these: CMX8GX3M2A1600C9

I have two DIMM slots left, can I install two matching DIMMS that are different make and model? The ones I have are PC3-12800 with CAS 11-11-B1, so they are slower. Will this affect my Corsair RAM?

I decided not to risk it and got some more RAM of the same I already have

So I've put the RAM in, CPU-Z is showing the DIMMS I bought as Single in the Rank section? Does this mean they are not running as dual channel?

My old RAM looks like this
