I have a X58-USB3 Gigabyte main board. Previously, I had 3*4 Patriot 2000 but I needed more memory so added 3*4 Corsair 2000 sticks. (I couldn't find the same brand). To install the memory sticks, I put 3 Patriot sticks on (2,4,6) slots and 3 Corsair sticks on (1,3,5) slots. After increasing memory I think the speed of my computer decreased.

Is the ordering of the memory modules important?

    Your motherboard's manual will specify the proper ordering for matched RAM pairs. Order is important for dual/triple channel modules, as they need to be matched for the best performance. Dec 13, 2012 at 12:50

Usually different memory sticks doesnt affect on computer speed. However you might encountered rare issue, when something doesnt work as intend. Long time ago i had issue when 2 different sticks didnt work together, so i had to replace. So incase if you have warranty, just try to replace your memory sticks for same manyfacturer, but just different sticks.

In case if you wont/cant do that, just try to remove all 3 new sticks and insert them 1 by 1, so you can see which of them affect your speed
