I've mixed 8GB of normal profile and 8GB of low profile Corsair Vengeance :

PC boots and 16GB is shown, but how can I test that they are working together OK?

In BIOS the speed says 1333 but to the right it says 1600 greyed out. I've set XMP profile 1 in BIOS.

TIA

run memtest on the system for awhile as this will check the ram for any faults.

I ran it individually on each stick, should I run it with all 4 too?

String said:

should be ok if ran on each stick but I would run it again with all 4 in so you know everything is ok as if you ran it on each stick using the same slot on the mobo the other 3 slots on the mobo would not have been tested
