Hello super turbo nerds of tom's Hardware!
I got a question: i'm a happy owner of 2x8 GB RGB Corshair 3200Mhz blocks of RAM (on a MSI 450 Gaming Pro MB) but i got the needing of upgrading it at least at 24GB.
I would like to buy just a single RAM block, 8GB with 3200Mhz of frequency and my question is:
It is suggested to try to buy the SAME model for my third block of RAM or it is sufficient to buy a block of ram of the same "class\frequency"?
Because the 3.2Ghz RGB Ram of Corshair are sold only on 2 x 8GB but i've found a HyperX Predator 1 x 8GB 3200Mhz block which i can buy as a single piece! (and it costs half, obviously)
Thansk a lot and have a nice day
EDIT: i also have a question about dual channel, which is now active -- adding an extra block of ram doesnt prevent the 2 pieces in dual channel to stop working right? it would just be that single piece that is not in dual, or i'm wrong?
