Question Will this ram setup work?

[Chrisse123]

I currently have 8gb (2x4) of ram and since I do a lot of video editing I wanted to upgrade to at least 16gb of ram. I’m wondering if it’s possible to buy 2x8gb and add them up with the already existing 2x4, so getting a total of 24gb. Is this possible? I was going to buy the exact same type of ram. Or is it worth upgrading motherboard and get ddr4 ram with 3200Mhz? And will my other components work with a newer motherboard.

My pc:
Corsair graphite 230T
Cooler Master B500 Ver.2
Intel LGA1150 Core i5-4690
MSI LGA1150 B85-G43 Gaming
HyperX Savage DDR3 1600MHz 8GB (2x4)
Gainward GeForce Gtx970 4gb GDDR5 PCI-E
HyperX Savage SSD 240GB 7mm
win 10

Yes, you can add two 8 GB sticks to your current setup, but if you have a 1600 MHz kit, i'd advise to buy the same 1600 MHz kit.

You can use CPU-Z to find the mode; no of your RAM.

Upgrading the board may not be worth it.

Thanks!, So i found out that my ram is this one: Kingston khx1600c9d3/4gx (2x4gb), will this work together with Kingston HX316C9SRK2/8 in a setup of 2x4gb khx1600c9d3/4gx + 2x8gb HX316C9SRK2/8 ?

Yes, It should work, but 24 GB might be overkill.

It looks like you're using two modules of Hyper x genesis 1600 MHz 4GB DDR3 RAM, 1.5V

and i don't think it is in production anymore

Online i see some ads, but they're of CL10 models, that are tiny bit slower.

So, you buy this.

It's the customer choice award winner.

thanks, but are you only recomending that ram because Kingston HX316C9SRK2/8 isnt avalable in your country?

Yes, Hyper X Savage will also work.

It's compatible with your current configuration.

No worries.
