OCZ RAM With Different Timing?

Mechanicus · 9 Jan 2009 at 23:21

Hello.
I currently have in my computer OCZ 4GB (2x 2GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz Reaper HPC Enhanced Bandwidth Edition, which have timing of 4-4-3-15

But I have seen some OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC6400 Titanium Memory for a good price, the problem is it's 4-4-4-15

would this affect my computer if I have both lots in there? Is there anything I should be aware of if I try using both lots at the same time?

Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry for the selfish bump, but I would really like some help on this.

It's hard to tell tbh. They may work fine together, or they may not.

You'd be better asking in the OCZ forums. They'll have a better idea of whether the chips are compatible.

I have the exact same ram as you (i think). Due to the large heatsink on the ram, will you be able to fit more ram? i dont think i could anyway in my rig

I haven't actually checked.
I was hoping for a quick answer, if it turned out it would work, I would haul out my rig and open it up.

I've got 4x1GB sticks of HPC reaper - it's snug, but they do fit next to each other. (Asus P5KC)

I posted this picture on the OCZ forum, but I'll put it here too and see what you think - Will the 2 sticks of Titanium RAM would fit in the 2 unused slots (and also would it be affected by having alternating RAM types, which is would need to be as the Reaper RAM does not fit side-by-side).
