CAN 1866 RAM connect to 1600?

it should work the issue is, the 1866 will just run at 1600 which means it will be slow for the given latency.

Can I use higher frequency RAM in my laptop?

Rick’s answer: Eric, the short answer to your questions is yes. Your computer will work just fine if you install the faster RAM. It will simply run at the slower 1333Mhz speed. 2 – Make sure you don’t purchase individual RAM sticks that are larger than your motherboard can accept.

Is 1866 MHz RAM good for gaming?

A DDR3 1866 Mhz RAM operates at an 1866 MHz clock, and an 1866 MHz clock cycle takes only 0.525ns to perform, meaning it is just slightly faster than 1600, and it handles most tasks with ease, including gaming. Overall, yes DDR3 1866 memory is enough for gaming.

Does MHz on RAM matter?

RAM frequency is measured in MHz and usually immediately follows the DDR version in the RAM spec. This is why though higher frequency RAM is technically faster, that additional speed often does not translate into better actual real world performance.

What happens if you use RAM with higher MHz?

It makes no difference. If the RAM run as a faster frequency then supported by the CPU it will be ran at the frequency that is supported. The simple fact is your unlikely to see a difference unless you double or triple the difference of difference memory.

Which is better 1333MHz or 1600Mhz?

The performance difference is less than 3\% in most real-world games and applications; only the most memory-intensive workloads, memory-specific benchmarks and gaming on IGP show significant differences. As Jack said, the prices are usually practically the same, so might as well go with 1600.

Can you have 2 different MHz RAM?

You can use memory modules of different speeds as long as they are faster than those specified for your computer. It is recommended to use modules of the same speed as those already installed in your system. If you do mix speeds, the modules will all run at the speed of your slowest modules.
