All,

I am running the following specs

ASUS RAMPAGE V EXTREME LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard

Intel Core i7-5820K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.3 GHz LGA 2011-v3 140W BX80648I75820K Desktop Processor

G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2133 (PC4 17000)

I understand 5820k supports maximum frequency of 2133MHz from the intel specs. I would like to upgrade my memory and still utilize the quad channel. I could afford another 32gb in the format of 8gb x 4 so bumping my specs to 48gb.
I have following questions.

If I upgrade to 48 gb Will I be still utilizing quad channel setup in the format of 4/8/4/8/4/8/4/8 ?

Thinking about going with this

Solution
Memory manufacturers guarantee the rated specifications of any memory to be obtainable only in the kit it is sold in. If you are adding an additional set of memory, the rated speed and timings may not work due to the extra stress on the memory controller. Therefore, you will need to relax the timings and/or frequencies in order to get two sets of memory to work. Another option you may need to do is increase the dram voltages or reducing the CPU multiplier.
