Hello there!
I have two identical (non-kit!) Kingston HyperX Fury Red DDR3 1866 MHz 4 Gb sticks (HX318C10FR/4) installed on Asus Z97-K mobo together with Intel Core i7 4790 CPU. Planning to upgrade to total 16 gigs of RAM. My options are either purchasing another two similar non-kit sticks or a single dual-ranked 8 Gb stick (HX318C10FR/8), but after I tried to place one stick into the A1 slot and it conflicted with a heatsink fan sizewise, the latter one is the only option for me.
From my understanding, If I place 2 4 gigs sticks into the B1 and B2 slots of channel B, and 1 8 gig stick into the slot A2 of channel A, they should work together in dual channel. What I am asking is this worth it? Don't want to change my heatsink or pay for an overpriced 2x8 16 gigs kit.
Appreciate for your help!
