The CPU's memory controller is the one that needs to support it. I don't see why it shouldn't support 24 GB, and since each stick is paired with an equally sized one, they should all run in dual channel. Make sure the new RAM has the same frequency and latency (CL) as your existing RAM.

will there be a problem if they dont have the same latency? the 2x8 have cl 12 my current 2x4 is cl11 will it cause like a bsod or something? or will the 2x4gb adjust to cl 12?

They should just run at the higher latency. But there's always the slight possibility it won't work.

i think ill just get the one with 2 slots then use 2x8gb then sell the 2x4 to my brother because he will build a pc soon anyways 🙂 because i dont want my hard earned money to be wasted so i dont want to take any risk, thanks for answering my questions btw ❤️
