Hi everyone, so I'm building a new PC and I already bought my components and just waiting for my GPU to arrive, anyway, I only bought 1 stick of 8 GB Ram Kingston HyperX Blu 1600 mhz, and I own the MSI Z87 MPOWER motherboard. I have been reading and reading and I heard people mentioning dual channel ram using 2 sticks. Now my question is, will only one stick work? I was originally planning to buy 2x 4 GB but they only had one, so I bought an 8 GB instead. Will it work?
Aditional question, if I want to do dual channel later on, will it work if I had different brands but same speed and capacity Ram sticks? I.e. Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB 1600 mhz + Corsair Vengeance 8 GB 1600 mhz?
Thank you for taking your time and reading.
