Hey guys,
I just finished my new build couple days ago and realized my 2*4gbs kit (8 gigs total) ram weren't enough. Im thinking about upgrading to 16 gbs by buying an identical 2*4gb kit model of the ram.
The motherboard im using is the Asus ROG VII hero with the 4790k and the corsair vengeance 1600mhz 9-9-9-24 1.5V memory.
My question is this: will running 4 sticks over-stress the memory controller and whether the performance differential will be noticeable than using a 2*8gbs kit (which runs in dual channel)?
The bottom line is i'll probably settle with 16gbs of ram for the upcoming years before i have to completely upgrade, so i dont mind using all 4 dimm slots on the motherboard.
So my only concern is performance and longevity.
Thanks heaps
