Tighter timings will be faster i.e. 2-2-2-5. However, the difference between 2-3-2-5 and 2-2-2-5 would be negligible.

In your case, you can probably mix them but the timings would have to be 2-3-2-5 in BIOS...... unless your G.Skill can run at 2-2-2-5 at higher vdimm....

Wah, wake up so early aaa?  laugh.gif

Anyway, there's no software that specifically test whether the mixed rams are compatible or not. You just have to try out your rig and see whether there is any problems/BSOD.

Alternatively, you can use memtest or orthos/prime95 (blend test) to test the rams/rig stability.....
