Ram 32gb from 16gb

I have 2x 8gb sticks hyper x fury in my computer right now, Can i buy the same 16gb (8gb sticks) and put them in the other slots?

Hello... depends on MB or CPU model for max ram allowed... check the details on the MB/computer website.

If your motherboard supports it, yes..... if your asking if it will work, than the answer is maybe. The RAM manufacturer only guaranteed performance when you buy 4 sticks in the same package. The problem with buying the 'same sticks" is that you do not know that they are the 'same sticks" regardless of same model number.

For example, Corsair Dominator / Vengeance Pro DDR3-2400 used Hynix modules up thru version 4.51 and then another vendor after that. The new vendor had slower timings and were just "different" and that made things difficult. The faster the RAM speed and better the timings, the more difficult it is to make two sets play nice together. All that being said, you can oft get lucky and even with a little work, BIOS adjustments for timings and maybe a teensy bit extra voltage, you can make it work.

You can have the slots but the overall number might not be supported. You might for example support 4 x 8 but not 4 x 16

Hello... Raise your memory voltage if you run into problem with it, for the extra sticks.
