Can I use 2x8gb or 4x8gb?

[DutchMutch]

I upgraded my pc with an i7 9700k cpu and Radeon RX 590 gpu. Didnt upgrade the motherboard, that's in the plans just short on greenbacks. My motherboard now is an ASrock z370pro4 I also bought 4 sticks of Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz (PC4 21300) (CMK16GX4M2A2666C16). On Asrock website they show they tested this RAM but to the right only shows 2pcs which I believe means just 2 sticks, Idk that whole guide confused me. My question is can I use all 4 sticks of this memory in an Asrock z370pro4 motherboard? Thanks.

yes you can use all 4. make sure to update your bios with your old cpu before using the 9700k

Did you buy it all as a kit? Or 4 single sticks?

RAM is matched when it's purchased in a 32GB kit, and that's usually the best way to buy it. Unless you got a killer deal on 4 single sticks, that's probably what I'd do.

 

Welcome to the forum.

No I bought 2x8gb then the next week it went on sale for 15 dollars and I was pissed so I bought it to feel like I still got the deal. And yes I did update the bios. Read up on it before I purchased the cpu. LTT has tought me a lot.
