Upgrade advice

Zanna · 10 Nov 2013 at 03:16

Ok, I'm currently running these http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-094-KS&tool=3 in my system however I've noticed that I am actually using all that memory up during gaming and streaming sessions.
So I believe now is the time to upgrade, however is it worth me grabbing another pack of these for another 8gb or should I get something different?
I'm not really clued up on Ram so could do with some advice please.

This is the motherboard in my system.

If you can get the same ram then that would be ideal.

Currently running the system overclocked. I should be ok to just put another 8gb of the same ram in without altering anything shouldn't I?

From what I've read it seems like you may need to adjust some settings after switching from 2 to 4 sticks of RAM.

Agreed

should be fine just go into bios and set ram speed or use xmp profile if your overclocked it may need tuning as full populating dims slots can have negative affect on your OC

My current ram settings are 9-9-9-28 1T 1600mhz, what would i need to change?
Would it be better to spend the extra on 2 8gb sticks instead?
