Question 2 Sticks + 2 Extra Sticks

[keyetmoist]

Let’s say if I were to by a pack of 16gb 2x8 sticks of ram that is dual channeled. Then later I buy another 2x8 pack that’s exactly the same as before.
Would it work? And would it mess up my dual channel or make it even better?

It won't make it better whatever that entails.

It might not even work since some motherboards can be picky mixing RAM kits (even if it's the same kit).

In all likelihood, the computer will probably work the same as it did before.

So it only depends on the MB?

 

[ThatVietGuy]

For the most part, yes.

 

[keyetmoist]

For the most part, yes.

Ok, thank you

Can the ASUS Crosshair VII Hero support that?

 

[ThatVietGuy]

Can't predict that.

Every kit comes from a different wafer for the most part, even if they are the same specs on the label. The ASUS Crosshair VII Hero is a pretty darn great motherboard though and has a pretty broad QVL regarding compatible RAM (and lots of RAM not listed to boot). 9 times out of ten there will not be an issue if the first pair works fine. I would not worry about it, especially if you are buying decent budget or better Samsung b-die RAM (You can get decent cheap kits for <$100 USD, so I assume you are). If you want to check, there are numerous "Samsung B die finder pages like this one: https://benzhaomin.github.io/bdiefinder/ that give you an easy way to look, though some newer models you may have to google search for the specs; ei G-Skill Aegis 3000/3200 Cl 14/15/16 are not listed but are compatible with every board I have tested them on, from horrific Beachwood A320s (HP super budget boards) to the decent Gigabyte GA-AB350 high quality value types to the top of the line X399 Gigabyte Aorus Extreme, and about 10 other boards in between. Oddly enough, I have not tested them on your board, but here is the QVL for the ASUS Crosshair VII: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb...60.101634920.1524872005-1382516923.1524872005

Best of luck.

And also is there any way to find the sticks that aren’t on the QVL?
