Quick question about mixing RAM

aDyerSituation · Jun 26, 2014

Hello everyone! I am looking to upgrade my ram size, as I am currently at 8 gigs(4 x 2) gskill ripjaws at 1333. I was wondering if I could get away with getting 2 more sticks at 2 gigs instead of 4 gigs, being it is a bit out of my price range/worth. My motherboard is this:

Thank you!

TO clarify: I have 2 sticks of 4 gb of ram at the moment, and I am considering getting 2 more sticks at 2 gb(if it works)

Most likely not.

Mixing kits is a hassle and more so a flip of coin if you can get stability.

If you have a FX chip you want to get a 2x4gb 1866mhz kit.

That board has 4 slots. Did you mean you have 4 sticks of 2 GB or 2 sticks of 4 GB? If the latter, it's possible to mix RAM though not ideal or guaranteed to run.

Mixing can be and often is problematic, mixing different sticks can be even more problematic, if you do try and have problems, give me a shout, can often get them to play with timing and voltage adjustments.

Alright. It will be the same type of ram at the same speed just different gigs, but I appreciate it!
