3 ram sticks/different sizes ok?

[mohabed96]

So, I bought a second hand i7-4770+msi e45 b85+2x4gb kingston ram, I thought the ram was a single stick because of bad discription from seller, so I had already bought another single stick 8gb with similar specs, from reading other peoples threads i thought I would get 12gb if I had all 3 ram sticks on at the same time or that the system would be buggy, however it works fine, system is showing 16gb and when I opened 60 fans on chrome it managed 11 gb load no issue, have other people tried this and gotten it to work or this just a fluke and Im getting a system crash/bottleneck soon?

its more than fine, system should be stable.

You will be more than certainly fine, I have an uneven RAM configuration (1x 8GB stick & 1x 4GB stick) works perfectly fine for me

If I am correct, different memory speeds may cause system instability, though would need someone to clarify on that as I haven't tested myself.

It's completely fine.

Speed shouldn't cause too much of an issue, as the higher clocked modules will run at the speed of the slowest stick.
