Question Buying two sets of the same Ram, will they work in the same system?

[Bluething]

I plan on buying this Ram, but if i order 2 sets of it such as instead of getting 2x16 it would be 4x16. Since I would be ordering the 2x16 ones twice. So in the end I would be getting 64gb of Ram

Heres the Ram:

Maybe, maybe not. They are only guaranteed to work as kits as that is how they are tested.

RAM is really only guaranteed to work in the set it is sold as.
Those would "probably work", but no guarantees.

Better to buy this 4x set, for the same price $20 cheaper as 2x2

Did you check the motherboard manufacturer's QVL (Qualified Vendor List) for your chosen Ram sticks?

 

[punkncat]

If you picked a properly spec'ed set of RAM and have an Intel system it will more than likely work. By work, I mean probably boot up and may or may not run at it's advertised speeds and latency.
If it's a Ryzen system I would be less sure and in particular would check QVL, etc.

 

[Juan_Bijero]

Even if the ram passed QVL, there will be problems as stated above if the part # are not exactly the same. (Example: I have Corsair Vengeance LPX 2X8 GB 3200 ram. On the backside of the packaging there is a small box which reads, "Product may very slightly from those pictured above. Part #48-009085 rev AC." The chips on the ram modules must be matched to the very same lot - or there will be serious problems, which is why USAFRet recommended the 4X set. Best advice that I have seen with regard to your question so far which is why I clicked like.
