Assuming the two sticks will work together..having dual channel even with the x16 stick will give you better performance than a single stick. The x16 won't be as good as a second x8 but you should still see a good bump in performance. Erdbeerenrex. OP • 2 yr. ago.
Yes, just make sure you move the 2 8GB sticks into one channel, and the new 16GB one into the other. 9. [deleted] • 1 yr. ago. KimchiNinjaTT. • 4 yr. ago. get the 2 sticks. memory works in dual channels which can boost your computers performance, especially for AMD, up to 30%. 7. JammyJona.
Alternatively I could just buyt two more 4gb sticks bringing it up to 16GB but I don't know if this is better or worse than having the two 8gb. Motherboard is ASUS Z97-P, and the Ram installed currently is DDR3 1600 single/dual channel. Just worried about the buying Ram for the first time and dont wanna screw anything up!
Yes, combining 8GB and 16GB of RAM together is possible. However, this can cause a slight decrease in performance. In order to use two different-sized RAM together you need to make sure the motherboard is compatible and they have the same clock speeds. Check out: “Can You Use 4GB and 8GB of RAM Together?” What is RAM?
Two 8 GB modules in DIMM 3, 4 (Black, Black) does NOT work - 4 Amber flashes from power button - "reseat memory or bad memory." Only configuration that works with two 8 GB modules is DIMM 1, 3 (White, Black) - boots up showing 16 GB available memory. Haven't tried DIMM 2,4 (White, Black) config yet. Verified each 8GB module alone in DIMM 1 - OK.
3. Theoretically it's fine. Just make sure it has the same configuration (i.e. number of pins, size/design). This is very important for laptops. Generally the faster RAM will be automatically 'underclocked' to achieve effectively the same speeds. You could attempt to overclock the slower RAM, but I honestly can't see there being much of an
10-01-2018 05:47 AM. Yes. Right now your model has a single 8 gig module of DDR4-2400 SO-DIMM memory and it has an open slot. You could add another 8 gig module to have 16 gigs. 32 gigs (2 x 16 gig modules) is also possible. However, very few computer users need 16 gigs let alone 32 gigs. You might notice a speed improvement with 16 gigs since boHl6Tw.
