4x4GB To 2x8GB Worth It ?

Dicehunter · 27 Jul 2014 at 07:04

At the moment I'm running 4X4GB sticks of 2400 Avexir Blitz 1.1 Original, This stuff -

My question is this, Would it be better to move over to 2 x 8GB 2400 so there's not so much strain on the IMC or just stay with what I have ?

Waste of money and no gains, stay with what you have.

I do not see it being less stressful as its double the density per channel and you do n ot state what platform you are on.

Pointless upgrade. 8gb is plenty. I dropped down from 16 back to 8 myself. No benefit.

The OP already has 16GB.

He was asking if there's any benefit from having 16GB as 2x8GB sticks instead of 4x4GB.

Pretty pointless unless you need 32gb anytime soon
