Maximum can fit 4x DIMM.

Currently installed:
2x 8GB GSkill Ripjaws V DDR4 2800mhz (total 16GB)
Model: F4-2800C15D-16GVRB

But I need more RAM, at least 24GB...32GB is wasteful.

I am considering:
2x 4GB GSkill Ripjaws V DDR4 2800mhz (total 8GB)
Model: F4-2800C15D-8GVRB

Yes, it's the same series, same model, same speed latency voltage, just 2x4GB instead of 2x8GB.

Has anyone tried mixing these (preferably on same MB)? Any stability/performance issue?

Even if it's not the exact same model, please share your experience with mixing Dual-Channel RAMs of the exact same model, but just different size/capacity.

Thanks!

It will probably work, but may require manual tweaking of ram parameters in BIOS (this applies to any mixing of multiple ram kits).
If you're not comfortable with altering ram parameters, then better go for 4 module kit.



Never done such a thing. In theory it should work in dual channel. Why not just buy another 16GB kit?
