please look at the picture (https://ibb.co/k5Xv30) if my setup will run dual channel, because I'm about to buy another 2x4gb kit (same speed and timing as the single one)

my current ram setup:
now currently at - 1x8gb - 2666mhz @ 15-17-17-17-35 @ 1.25v
planning to add - 2x4gb - 2666mhz @ 15-17-17-17-35 @ 1.25v

Mismatched RAM like this will run in dual channel on some motherboards and not on others. In addition, mix-and-match RAM is a gamble in general. It might boot, it migh blue screen, it might NOT boot. There is no way to predict. If you want 16GB, the best answer is to buy 2x8GB as a set and sell your single 8GB DIMM.
