Some time ago I've bought OC system combo, processor 4970 @ 4.4ghz + motherboard + 8 gb ram.

Now I'm looking to upgrade RAM to 16GB.
Can I just buy new 2x8GB sticks and remove those old ones 2x4gb and put those new ones in? Or do I need to do something with my system if those sticks have been OC'd?

Do I have to reset bios or will everything work?

 
Solution
Yes, and that's the best way to go, there would be no guarantees in mixing current DRAM with another packagge - even if same exact model. I'd look to 2133 prob in 2x8GB, prob the Gskill Ripjaws X or Snipers
