Hey guys , i just bought a ddr 3 8gb of ram at 1333mhz , and i had another 2x2 gb of ram . i mixed one 8 gb with 2 gb , They have same frequency(1333mhz and same voltage(1.5V) .Windows shows 10 gb of ram like it should.My question is , is there any problem if i'm doing this and it will damage my pc? Thanks.
 
Solution
2+8 config will disable dual channel mode (or switch to flex mode, if available).
So if everything works, then other than a small performance decrease, there should be no other issues.
