Currently i'm running Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB DDR3 1600mhz and i'm ordering same Brand,Voltage,timings e.t.c RAM but 2x8GB. I just want to know do i have to do anything to my System or BIOS before i remove the old RAM and install the new one?
I know how to choose right RAM for my system, also i know how to set correct settings related to RAM in BIOS.
Side question: Both models run in dual channel, will i be able to still get dual channel performance if i add new ones to my mobo without removing old ones? I guess it's motherboard related question ( i have Asrock z75 Pro 3) i'll check the manual, but is it possible generally?
EDIT: This is what my mobo says, i guess i won't be able to run in dual channel mode because my sticks aren't "identical"? i'll have 2x4 and 2x8 GB sticks. See configuration 3
