Compatibility with OCZ memory

[nabril15]

Hello
Current setup:
MSI785GM-E51 mobo, Phenom IIx4 955 (C3 revision), 4GB of OCZ Gold 12800 memory oc'ed to 1600.
BIOS settings:
CPU ratio: 16.5 = 3300
FSB/DRAM 1:4 = 1600
DRAM voltage 1.71
Memory setting: 8-8-8-24, 2T
Unganged mode: Enabled

I want to add 4gb of F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL to this.
Will it work with what I have, since the gskill has 9-9-9-24?

Thank you

What is the specific model number of the OCZ ram you are currently running?

What are the manufacturer's timing and voltage specifications for the OCZ you're running?

Generally I don't recommend mixing RAM from different manufacturer's, and I never recommend mixing them if they don't have the exact same timing and voltage specifications.

i imagine that mixing brands and timings is not a good idea, but I've read of people that have had it work.
My existing RAM:
OCZ Gold 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ3G16004GK

They (OCZ) no longer sell this model, but I've been recommended to use this as an equivalent. OCZ3G1600LV4GK. It has 8-8-8-24 with 1.65

Not that I'm trying to drive away sales from G.Skill............... but I think your best bet is to go with the OCZs since you already have one set.

There's a better possibility that they have the same exact ICs than when mixing/matching different brands.
