I have a question for the Tom's community about memory and would appreciate any helpful answers.
Right now I have a set of Kingston Hyper X (white series) DDR3 1866 RAM (2x8gb) which leaves 2 memory slots on my Asus Z97 Sabertooth Mark S motherboard empty. I'm quite OCD about detailed things and don't like the nakedness featured in my custom white themed build. Before I ask the question, I'd like to pint out that it's mainly for aesthetics and really nothing else. I'm aware that I won't see much, if not any performance gained, but that's alright with me.
My question is. Could I buy two sets of duel channel RAM (4x4gb - each set of course is 2x4gb) and run them together? I'm pretty sure they will still run at duel channel right? Not quad channel?
I know it's best to just buy a quad channel kit so all is from the same batch, but with the memory I'm wanting to buy I can't find a quad channel kit. They're the Avexir Core Series white cameo editions that would match perfectly with the Asus Z97 Sabertooth Mark S motherboard I have.
Here's the Newegg link:

Would it be alright to go ahead & buy 2 sets to populate all 4 of my RAM slots? Or is that the wrong thing to do? I'm somewhat lost on this question.
Thanks everyone for any and all help.
