Hi, everyone. I have CORSAIR Vengeance CMK16GX4M4A2800C16 16GB (4x4GB) and I want to add more memory for the second channel. So, do I have to buy identical one 16gb or I can put Corsair Vengeance CMK32GX4M4A2800C16 32GB (4x8GB) that is almost the same but 32GB.
Will I have any problem with dual channel memory performance?
Thx in advance.
 
Solution
Get the 4x8GB, as the package is guaranteed that all sticks will play nice, and 4 sticks will be less stress on the MC (memory controller) than running 8 sticks ;)
