Hello guys wasnt sure if there is another thread about this so i made a new one, so i have been runnnig up to now with 2 x 4 GB Corsair XMS3 DHX (1333) the code ( TW3X4G1333C9DHX ), and recently i bought another set of this ram but i think there has been some problem with the order or something and i Received 2 x 4 GB Corsaid Dominator (1333) and the code is ( TW3X4G1333C9D ) i have installed the 4 sticks of Ram, but would this be a problem ? will it Function Properly ? i know that they must be in pairs but does this count as a pair as i have twinx from the DHX and another twinx from the Dominator?
thanks for the help :}

As long as their speed and timings are set to the same then I would guess they should be ok together since they are both Corsair and both 1333mhz

If you start getting blue screens and/or crashes when you didn't before, then the ram would be the first place to look

I have run OCZ reaper in one machine 2 x 2GB + 2 x 1GB modules (6Gb overall) for years with no problems

It looks like DHX refers to the ram cooling so i presume its the same memory sticks with different cooling solutions.

Yea they are both 9-9-9-24 and ive clocked both to 1600 and both voltages are to 1.5v so i assume its ok hvnt had any crashes or blue screens so it shud be ok
