Hi all,

bit of a dumb question here, so please bear with me...

I have a set of Kingston HyperX PC-8500 DDR2 1066 KHX8500AD2K2/4G CL7 (7-7-7-20) @2.2V advertised (not to be confused with the KHX8500D2K2/4G CL5 ( 5-5-5-15 ) @2.2v advertised), and would like to add another 2gb of this Kingston HyperX PC-8500 DDR2 1066 KHX8500D2K2/2G CL5 (5-5-5-15) @2.2v advertised.

My question is, could I run both of these kits at CL 5-5-5-18 @1.85v or 6-6-6-18 @1.85v?

At the moment, I'm running my ram at CL 5-5-5-18 @1.85v 1066 (961MHz because of CPU OC) with no problems at all, I'm planning on a memtest overnight with the CL at 5-5-5-15 @1.85v

Sorry if it's a bit confusing as both kits have different latency and voltage settings and I don't want to screw anything up or waste money on ram that won't work.
 
You can always run slacker timings. may be an issue to run tighter ones. Therefore the best way is to run all the ram at the 6-6-6-18 to ensure no errors.
