Yes i did that mistake of buying RAM in parts and now im replacing the whole bunch. My requirement is 16 GB but I dont want to go for 4BG X 4 sets 16GB in total, as currently i have 2GBx4 sets 8 GB in total and i'm facing problems.
so i thought ill Get 8GB 2sets and complete my 16GB requirement.
but as you suggest ill buy one more and go for 24 BG RAM in total. its a bit overkill but i play Battle field 4 which requires lots of RAM.

so do you think the selected RAM will work properly if i pick 3 of them?

Thank you "Tradesman1" for your help :)

Hi,
I did install Corsair Vengance 2X8GB 1800mhz Ram kit CMZ16GX3M2A1866C10
and its working fine. just that in bios when over clocking is set to auto or on Asus Oc the ram frequency is auto set to 1066. Cut when i switch to X.M.P. the frequency is set to 1800*.

wondering why is that.

Do you have the CPU OCed, should be at 1600 but if you have OCed via the BCLK then that takes everything else up also - sticks are running 1780 which is perfectly safe as long as stable, though should be able to prob drop to 1600 by setting the freq manually in the BIOS

Thank you for your reply "Tradesman1",
I'm have not over clocked as i'm not to experiences and do not want to take a chance. in Asus bios it doesn't give me option to disable over clocking. so i need to choose one at last. hence upon choosing auto, the frequency drops down to 1066, and only when using XMP, the ram freq adjusts to its original state that is 1750.

One more thing. to my surprise i tried working my new Corsair Vengeance 8GB x2 1800 mhz ram with my older 2GB x 4 Kingston 1333 mhz ram and to my surprise the freq remained at 1750 and CPUID was showing total 25 GB ram.
Is it safe to use and mix different frequency and capacity RAMS?

also in bios in the OC profile if i use anything other than XMP. the freq drops to 1066.
