Solution
Motherboard has four RAM slots - - total supported RAM is 32GB.

32GB divided by 4 = 8GB

So each slot supports up to 8GB - - simple arithmetic my friend. Info is right there on the manufacturer's specs sheet:

https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/CROSSHAIR_V_FORMULAZ/specifications/

However, getting another matched pair of 4GB sticks (or a matched pair of 8GB ones) would be preferable to enable all the installed RAM to operate in dual channel mode, thereby maximising RAM performance.
