Posted December 29, 2017 Hello, so i just bought a new motherboard and 8gb of ram at 2x4 of https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01550ZJPA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it would seem that my cooler blocks on of the DIMM ports thankfully i was told to use 2&4 but as I in time wish to have 16gb of ram what can I do as one is blocked? Am i able to use a 8gb version or something else ,thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 29, 2017 Does it block it because of the height, or just because it hangs over the slot? If it only hangs over the slot you can probably just remove the cooler to install in it. If you don't wanna do that, you'll be fine running 2x4gb's and an 8gb stick, just try to get it the same speed as the 4gb sticks if you can(as they'll all be forced to run at whatever the lowest sticks speed is) PC - CPU Ryzen 5 1600 - GPU Power Color Radeon 5700XT- Motherboard Gigabyte GA-AB350 Gaming - RAM 16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB - Storage 525GB Crucial MX300 SSD + 120GB Kingston SSD PSU Corsair CX750M - Cooling Stock - Case White NZXT S340 Peripherals - Mouse Logitech G502 Wireless - Keyboard Logitech G915 TKL - Headset Razer Kraken Pro V2's - Displays 2x Acer 24" GF246(1080p, 75hz, Freesync) Steering Wheel & Pedals Logitech G29 & Shifter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 29, 2017 You can mix and match sizes, but you should get a module that matches the others in speed (MHz). If you get a slower module, the faster chips will run slower.
