I have an ASrock Z77 Extreme Motherboard.

I currently have 2x4GB Kingston HyperX Blu 1600mhz modules on the motherboard.

Would I be able to also install a 8GB HyperX Blu 1600mhz on the same motherboard and have it recognize all 16GB?

I know a lot of people (as well as the user manuals) say that each module has to be identical, but I'm just not sure what the true requirement is.

Thanks!

Yes you would. The modules have to be the same clock speed and (not really) the same brand (but recommended since different parts to it and stuff). I dont think capacity has anything to do with it.
