24 gigs of ram. Any reason not to?

[imnotagamer007]

I have 4x2 in there now and was given 8x2. I want to just install it all. Is there any disadvantage to having 24 gigs of ram?

Other than the fact that different kits/brands may not be compatible with each other, not really.

If adding the 16GB kit prevents the board from booting, try removing the 8GB kit and try again.

If the timings are different you have to settle for the lowest common settings, so that can be a factor too.

What if OP puts them on different channels? Would this still apply?

PS. You can tighten up the timings on many sticks without needing to raise the voltage.

If your BIOS allows, those DIMMs are really easy to fool around with since they're so stable. Pretty much anything made by Kingston is good memory.
