For best results you should keep your RAM the same model. If what you're saying is you currently have two 4gb sticks you should probably just grab two 8gb sticks

Unless two more 4gb of whatever type you've got is dirt cheap

Just download the extra RAM.

2 8GB sticks if you plan on OC'ing, i.e. tighter timings, 1T, or running beyond rated speeds

Why do people keep thinking this is /g/?

Just download more RAM.

If they are both the same DDR, then why not add two 8GB sticks and get a total of 24GB RAM?

just get 2 more 4gb sticks that are matching model, assuming you dont have some hard to find random model, its the cheapest route.

You can't mix and match like that. They all need to be the same level

Who said that? I had 12GB of RAM the other day, why can't he have 24GB?

fuck off to /g/

As long as they have the same timing and voltage, doesn't matter what brand. The fastest one will take over but be capped to the slowest ones speed. eg. if its 1600mhz it will run at 1333mhz

You're a retard if you do this anyway since its more trouble than its worth, just buy a kit.
