    Hey aphanic 
    I've just tried my hands on new Stick of Simmtronics 4GB 1333MHz. And yeahhh..  finally results are fantastic! :+1:

    But I'm just shocked that New Module is running at 1600MHz as per Task Manager and CPU-Z, my Old sticks are of 1066MHz.

    It's working with and without old sticks perfectly at 1600, and CL is also 7, but Voltage seems different as New stick is showing 1.35V & old one is 1.5V. 

    So is there any issue if i continue using these both Sticks together?? 
    I hope it doesn't burn my cpu or motherboard in future!

    I've attached SS for both sticks. Please have a look into that.
    Thanks.

    I'm glad those two can work in dual channel mode :)

    But nope, it the new one will be using the profile for 1066 MHz and won't ever get past that, despite what the Task Manager may state. If you go to the Memory tab in CPU-Z for example I bet the "DRAM Frequency" listed under timings will never get past ~533 MHz (you can see it change from time to time depending on what you're doing with the PC).

    That's the only way they can work in sync, even when there is a tad of a different in tRAS. Same goes for the voltage, I bet both are working at 1.5v, but it's interesting to see HWiNFO report the new module as using 1.35v because DDR3 works at 1.5v (per spec), so that's actually a mislabeled DDR3L module that supports both voltages :)

    In any case, if you can use the system as usual and you get no errors or anything everything's fine, congrats!

    Yes, i hope so. I'm glad that they're working perfectly. 

    Thanks a lot mate. :)

    All the best for your future. :+1:
    Will see you when I again need your help.

    Voltage should be no problem, DDR3L is able to work at both, but if you're concerned about that and you find DDR3 that's good too.

    So right now you have Windows 7 installed, but it doesn't boot with the new RAM stick. I wonder how we can get detailed information on the sticks. I'm interested in knowing at which profile the new stick is running and it may be incompatible with the system after all, who knows.

    Would it be possible for you to install a 64-bit version of Windows 10 cleanly? It doesn't really matter if it is with the new module installed or the old ones, but I think I speak for everyone when I say that we need more data to assess the situation.

    There's a guide on how to install 10 cleanly just in case too: https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/comment/893916/#Comment_893916
    Now I'm installing Windows 10 64 Bit, let's see what happens!

    Can you please tell me what data you need to examine the situation?
