Two different size of RAM

[wuzlo]

Hey guys i currently have 8Gb RAM but i want to expant it to 32 GB my question is if i buy the same typ of RAM (same brand)
and buy like.. letz say 16 GB more b ut use the same brand is that okay? or is there anything to take care about i would have 24 GB ram..

sorry if my explaination is weird my english skill is bad

short: same brand RAM just diffrent size is that okay? or does it have to be 8 gb+ 8 gb only for example.

I have not understood very well what you mean but for example my pc has 16 GB of ram and I have added another one more than 16
as long as you have enough ram slots I think it doesn't matter what size you insert

You also need to look at the RAM bus properties

 

[thomasjb]

brand did not matter i think / its matter only your pc motherboard which DDr RAM support mean ( ddr3 , ddr4 ddr2 )
for example ( your pc support ddr 3 ram but you can add ddr3 ram on ur pc / you can not attach ddr 4 ram on pc )

for example : i have 8GB ram DDR4 3200mhz and i buy 16gb ram DDR4 3000mhz

it will work okay but you will not get 3200mhz speed just 3000mhz Because there is one lower

so you can do it but make sure if you use DDR4 get one wits DDR4 like that
there is no problem if you use 16GB + 8GB
Just need from the same generation

If one of the rams has a lower speed, it will be recorded as the highest speed
I hope you understand me more clearly

aah thank you very much i was waiting for this but still:
""it will work okay but you will not get 3200mhz speed just 3000mhz Because there is one lower""
is this an issue for me i can pay as usual and will not damage my PC right?

aah i understand now i was afraid trying it out because i am such a poor guy i was afraid to damage my pc or something lol but i do need more RAM i got 8 GB right now but for this generatio of gaming 8 GV its like 2 GB back then... mean its too less i order 16 more GB from amazon but i dont want to tor my old ram (8 gb) away xD thats why i questioned it
anyway thanks for the support hopefully it work out like cahrm.

need to look at the RAM bus properties

need to look at the RAM bus properties

what is even that dude

download Cpu Z u got information

 

[wuzlo]

download Cpu Z u got information

thanks i gonna try it out

if it's the same brand same everything but large in size it's fine.. but it wont give u the 100% potential speed for it .. 90% or 80% lets say if it's 3200mhz it will give u like 3000

alright got it, then it should be fine, i currenly using it right now, so far so good no problems

You need to but 16X2 GB Rams as it will provide proper flow of the data and will not cause any kind of trouble. Otherwise, You may see performance issue

 

[wuzlo]

work fine for me right now with uneven number of RAM

 

[Akayed Ackerman]

Different size or brand doesn't matter. Only matters bus. So you have to put same bus.Thats it

 

[wuzlo]

okay that is a nice explaination but what do you mean with bus? can you be more accurate please

 

[sada pasa]

if you take 16 + 16 then it will perform better

 

[wuzlo]

if you take 16 + 16 then it will perform better

that is somethig we all know but thats not the case and not what i wanted to know.

it's matter sometimes

The ideal is two equal memories with the same amount of HZ to make dual channel on your motherboard.
