I have a G.Skill Sniper 8GB (2x4gb) Low Voltage series and I want to add another G.Skill Sniper 8GB (2x4gb) Low Voltage series to have a 16 GB of ram for my 3D rendering. I have an Asus B85 Vanguard Motherboard and there is two vacant ram slots. Will it have conflicts or problems?

Might or might not, no guarantees when mixing packages of DRAM, even the same exact model, it's sort of a crapshoot. That's why they sell a variety of packages in different amounts, in each set all sticks are tested to work together, you could pull 10 sticks right off the assembly and out of all of them only find 4 that will all play together. If you try and have any problems, give me a shout, if they don't want to play, they can often takeminor voltage/timings adjustments so they will play nice

Some times raising the Voltage or lowering the frequency can allow both kits to work better, if you have problems.
