Two sets of dual RAM kits in a dual channel motherboard

[Lemonpeel10]

Hi,

 

Currently I have a set of dual ram (2 x 4gb) and wish to upgrade to a total of 16gb.  Would there be any issue if I get another dual set of ram and use them in the second channel? Is it okay the that the 4 ram are not all validated together? Does ram only need to be validated with the ram that's in the same channel on the motherboard?

 

Thanks for any help,

 

Dan

If both of them don't share frecuency and latencies they will run in single channel. But there will be no problem, just worse bandwidth

RAM needs to be seated in the slots on your motherboard corresponding to each channel. A1, B1, A2, B2, and so on. As long as your dual kit RAM DIMMs are installed in A1, A2, and the other set is B1, B2, you'll be fine, and the kits will both run in dual channel mode.

Nooo...
