Hello, I've been looking around for answers and didn't get an exact answer to my question, only performance issues, and "might be fine"
I know that using different ram speeds will cause the mb to run at the minimal speed for dual channel, but what about the ram sizes?
If I add 16gb ram stick to 8gb I already have (2133mhz ddr4) will the mb use max 8gb from the 16gb stick or will grant me 24gb in total?
I heard once that ram can work in multiplications of 2.. and 24gb is a multiplication of 3.. (kinda 2, but for 12gb of ram stick, which is non-existant).
Plus, looked around, didn't find much, but for the upcoming games (cyber punk, and also star citizen (which is a deadly coded game which wants 16gb minimal) should 16gb total be fine?
Thanks in advance for any help.
