Occupy all 4 dimms

bradtrav · 12 Jun 2018 at 13:31

Currently using the MSI Intel Z370 SLI Plus with the Dark Pro 8GB (2x4GB) DDR 4 3200Mhz kit and was looking to bump this up with another identical kit of 8GB (2x4GB) DDR 4 3200Mhz,

Would there be any issues to expect when trying to run the ram at the rated speed of 3200Mhz while all 4 Dimms are taken up? the CPU is at stock and will remain that way.

Thank you

It not recommended adding multiple memory kits together even when there identical kits

But I have done this myself before with the ddr3 in my last system..

You should be ok. It is common practise to expand memory like that.

It might help reduce ocd on seeing empty slots

I've had instability in the past with 2 dual channel kits corsair xms3 1600MHz bought at different times so batch numbers were different, I had blue screening and all sorts to start with until I had to fiddle with some settings in the bios.
Just name sure you can send them back as unwanted with x amount of days of buying them.

Haha luckily my side panel isnt see through otherwise it might trigger a underlying ocd

I got in touch with the returns manager and would have 14 days to return them so going to give it a go soon.

Thank you for the replies

No Worries and you can't build pc's correctly unless you get the ocd out
