Hi, I have an MSI 970A Gaming Pro Carbon Motherboard and 2 sets of 8gb RAM they are the patriot black mamba sticks. Is there any option that I need to enable to run all 4 sticks at the same time?
 
Solution
Assuming you have already tried to run them without luck. Mixing up RAM, even same brand and model can cause compatibility issues. There is a reason they sell those in kits as they come from same batch and have been tested to work together.
Best option is to sell your RAM and buy a new 2x16 GB kit if you really do something with your computer that needs 32 GB. For gaming, no need for more than 16 GB.
