RAM stick question

[MidNite36]

I have two RAM sticks in a motherboard, one has 2400mhz speed and the other is 2600Mhz speed will the two RAM sticks work perfectly without hindering the performance of each other either in crypto mining or just using the PC for task work?

The RAM will work perfectly as they are DDR4 rams based on your frequency and the motherboard does not play any role because the RAM sticks when they are with different speeds the standard in IT is that the RAM sticks will operate at 2400 Mhz which is the lowest frequency.

Of course this would not hinder any operation in mining or every other task that you will be doing in your computer.The ideal would be to use RAM with same speeds but even with different speeds it causes no problem.

Yes, it is possible to use two RAM sticks with different speeds at the same time, but your RAM will work at its slowest speed. In some cases, this may result in compatibility issues, but such instances are very rare. To avoid any surprises, it's best to do a complete test of your RAM with MemTest86 or something similar.

I believe the RAM speed will be limited to 2400 since that's the lowest of all the RAM sticks you have, if the lowest is 1600 speed then the whole sticks will work at 1600, hope you understand now.

In most cases, this will not create problems for mining, if you do not mine monero on the processor. The memory frequency does not have much effect on the mining of the main coins for video cards. My mining farms have DDR3 installed and some have mixed memory of 1333Mhz and 1600Mhz.

I remember years ago I would always try and get the same brand and same frequency of memory sticks. I would do benchmark after benchmark. And my conclusion was that if the frequency is a little bit off or its a different brand, it makes almost no difference.

Maybe its shown in a benchmark, however the different is negligable. You will not notice it. Especially when doing desktop work. There will be a bigger performance issue if you don't have enough ram rather than ram which has different frequencies.

Memory speed is not an issue for mining, the goal is to avoid using memory while mining. The only issue with mixed memory
is it will operate at the speed of the slowest stick, except for rare cases of incompatibility.

As long as it boots up and all mem is recognized you're good for CPU or GPU mining.

dont worry, default speed is 2133, if you push then to 2400 or other high speed there is not difference in mining.
