Mixing Different DDR4 RAM Modules

[Scorge120]

Hi folks,

I currently have 4x8gb 2133MHz Kingston HyperX Predator sticks running great in my mobo at the minute. I am planning on adding four more 8gb 2133MHz sticks down the road to max out my RAM at 64gb.

I can't get another four sticks of Kingston HyperX because they are too tall to insert on the right side of my Noctua CPU cooler. So I'll need low-profile RAM in order to max out my system to 64gb.

Would there be a significant performance difference if I use another manufacturer's RAM to fill out the other slots, operating at the same frequency? I don't think Kingston make low profile DDR4 RAM at the moment so I was looking into Crucial or Corsair.

I can still return the Kingston RAM if it will save me the headache and performance costs down the road, but I would rather not as I'll be out of my main editing workstation for a period of time.

Thanks,

Zach

None at all. Just make sure you get some with the same timing and voltage. If not it will kick it down to the slowest set.
