I just ordered 16gb 2x8gb dual channel sticks of memory and i already have a 4gb single channel stick in my mobo. well adding the 16gb dc kit to the 4gb sc effect anything.
The 4GB will run in single channel mode and may cause the 2 x 8GB to drop to single channel. Try it and see. But If I were you, I'd forget about it. Mixing timings may become an issue.

Agree here, either buy another 4 gig stick so you have matched memory in both banks, enabling dual channel mode, or just leave the 4 gig stick out. 16gig is more memory than most people will ever need anyway.
