What's up guys? I just have a simple question. I have 1 stick on Kingston 8GB (1600) and 2 Sticks of Patriot 4GB ram (1600). How could I put these in the motherboard? I heard you had to put them in the coloured slots or something (idk). And also are these ram sticks compatible? Links below!

Hi, you may be able to use all three sticks at once. Just try it. Put the 4gb sticks in matching colored slots and then just put the 8 gig stick in one of the remaining slots (it doesnt matter what color). The RAM maybe compatible or it may not. All RAM is different so just try it, they may work or they may not. And dont worry, it wont break anything. :)

I dont want to spend $80 on ram and when it doesn't work "to not worry". Can you please check to make sure that it will work 100% fine? I dont want to spend $80 just to be dissapointed. If I wanted to do that I could buy a $80 mirror.

I have the 8GB. Fry's does not have the exact same one as mine.

you did make it sound as if you already own both of them, why not just buy some more of what you are currently using?
