Hi, i have a ASRock Fatality z97 killer with dual channel support.
It says "Supports Dual Channel DDR3/DDR3L 3200+(OC)"
Installed is a pair of 8gb 1600mhz HyperX rams
I have a spare pair of 4gb 1600mhz corsair vengance rams that i would like to install (to push 24gb) but i was wondering if the load for the motherboard would be too much? Some insight would be appreciated, thanks!
 
Solution
ram speed doesn't add up like that, it'll just be 1600 (which is really 3200 as it's double data rate ).

BUT mixed kits may not work, you might be lucky, you might not be, you might spend hours and hours fiddling with timings trying to get it to work.
