So I just installed a pair of 8gb Kingston Fury Hyperx (or something like that :3) and my pc is only registering it as 8gb they are installed correctly, in the slots :P, any help would be greatly appriciated

Specs: 

Intel® i5 4440 cpu

Intel® HD Graphics card (i think 4400)

My motherboard does support ddr3 and was using that before

So any help would be greatly appreciated :3

The motherboard doesn't happen to only support 8 GB of DDR3, does it?

And suffered many years under thine Satan-box. However, if thine be willing, as thy hast show yourself to be, thy can ascendeth into thy glorious fold of the glorious church. Go well, my brother, may your temps be low and your frames high. ~ MrDynamicMan

you've bought a 2x4 kit which is advertised as 8 gb, because that's the total amount of ram, and you're thinking that you bought 2x8 gb :)

You may be able to use your old ram with the new ram if you have enough slots. If the old stuff is slower you probably will need to slow the new stuff down to the same specs. Unless it's a lot slower then you might not want to.
