I have an Asus maximus hero vii , 850 watt powersupply . I have 2x4 Gb ddr3 corsair vengeance 2400mhz. Im looking into getting more ram for editing with Sony Vegas etc.. It seems a little slow. I'm looking at purcashing 2x8 corsair vengeance 2400. I was wondering if I would be able to do that and not make my PC unstable. Thanks!
Give me a list of don't do or to do

If talking mixing the two, there's no guarantees anyime you mix DRAM sets, get the 2x8, preferably with same timings and voltage, then start off with them, enable XMP select profile 1 and make sure all is well, then can try adding the 4GB sticks...if any problems give me a shout and we can try a couple small adjustments, no guarantees, but we can probablly get all to play together
