| 740591 | 2009-01-20 09:36:00 | I just got myself a 2nd pair of 512MB sticks, and I was going to put them in to give myself 2GB However: the old sticks run at 2.5-3-3-7 and the new at 2.5-3-3-6: Would it be OK to manually set everything to 2.5-3-3-7 ? I expect the faster RAM wouldn't mind running slower, but is this wise? Can anyone speak from experience and say "it will damage the RAM" or "it will be unstable" etc? I know you can run modules at slower clock speeds (Mhz) OK, but what about timings? |

| 740592 | 2009-01-20 09:52:00 | Never heard of RAMs being damaged/become unstable when it runs below its rating. Should be OK. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
