Sometimes that will work, but it lowers the effective speed of the RAM.

I have mixed and matched sets of RAM, successfully before, but it's not easy. You need identical sets of RAM, and the version numbers (printed on the circuit board), have to be the same as well.
Even then, there is the possibility of failure. Not because it shouldn't work, but simply because it wasn't "tested" as a set, before it left the manufacturer.

Link me to what makes a set a set

Plz tell me

How many sets of ram have you rmad?

Did you miss the bolded part? <--- Rhetorical question.

Do tell me why when i rma d a set of ram from few companies they only wanted the one bad stick And not the set?
Received back the other with same timings and frequency?

I haven't RMA'd many RAM sticks, but every time they wanted the whole set.

Lol then how do they match sets?
What tests are done?
Provide some links of their testing for matching sets

I could pull my crucial ballistix out and show non matched serials after rma

Call em and ask em. You saying the whole internet knows that RAM manufacturers test RAM kits for compatibility, and you don't? <---- Rhetorical question.

Dude, get real, you wanna argue about dumb stuff, go to a bar, like the rest of the world.

Lol show me proof
Oh wait look who I'm talking to
Ghot logic strikes again

So which ram have you rma'd? Mr logic?

And btw show me links of what they test and how they match ram?
If it's all over the internet you should be able to provide a link

And you should too.
Like I said, get you argue fix somewhere else. Time to grow up.

Nice dodge
