Ram Question #2

[Champion-Craig]

Building my first machine and bought 2 of these ram sticks to equal 8gb of ram:

Patriot Viper Xtreme 4GB Desktop Memory Module - DDR3, 1600MHz, PC3-12800, CL 11, 1.5V (PX34G1600C11)

I can have two of these same ram sticks in a channel right?

Yes.

Thank you

Are you asking if you can put both of the sticks in the same channel, i.e. A1 & A2? Or are you asking if you can get another kit and fill all the sockets?

The A1&A2 question.

Should work. I wonder why one would want to do this. There is a small but measurable benefit to using both channels, A1 & B2, or A2 & B2. The user manual suggests that installing in the blue slots (A2 & B2) will allow for better overclocks.
