> First of all you shouldn't be using two different RAMs together if they do not have identical timings. Post a screenshot of CPU-Z showing timings of both the RAMs.

> To run RAM in dual channel, you need to insert the two sticks in same colored slots.

> Also, the 1600 MHz RAM will be automatically downclocked to 1333 MHz.
