Ram Mixing?

[Mini Van Dan]

I'm going to soon be upgrading to Hyper X ram 2x4gb sticks 8gb. I was wondering would it be ok to have those to plus the original Crucial 1x8gb stick in my computer together or would it cause issues? This is the ram that was stock in my computer

and this is the ram I want to upgrade to

So I'm just wondering if I wanted to keep the 8gb stick I'm just wondering if it would be ok to have them together or if I'm just better off getting another 8gb Crucial stick?

I mix ram with no issues at all but I would suggest getting another 2x4 or 1x8 so you can use all the channels

When you run three stick of ram, you are running only single channel instead of dual channel.

its usually rine as long as the ram is the same speend and the same size.

 

it SHOULD work but since one is a 8gn and 2 are gonna be 4bg maybe not. but from personal experience, it works 99% of the time

that's what I'd like to do is use at least one full channel cause atm my computer only has 1x8gb stick

another question then should I want to upgrade to 32gbs just for fun or even only 24gbs would it still be ok to mix different kinds of ram together as long as their the same ddr?

32 is way overkill, 24 I wouldn't do, yes

I know it's overkill but that's why I said just for fun

that's because your pouring it into supplies not devolopment
