Question Will Two 4x2 & Two 8x2 G.Skill Ripjaws V 2444mhz RAM work in dual channel mode?

[darkerm]

I have two 4gb G.Skill Ripjaws V 2444mhz RAM.
My Motherboard has 4 Ram slot.
I want to add more Ram.
I'm playing to buy Two 8gb same model same speed RAM.
So will it work in dual channel? Or they will work like single Chanel?

They will work in 2 x dual channel, provided they are set up correctly. Consult your motherboard manual how to place the RAM sticks. The RAM slots are sometimes colorcoded:

In the top right however, you can see DDR3_A1, DDR3_A2, DDR3_B1 and DDR3_B2. A1 and B1 go together, just like how A2 and B2 go together. Check your motherboard manual for more, accurate info.

Mixing RAM is always gamble. It’s possible it will work fine in dual channel. It’s also possible it won’t even boot.

Yes they are colored. Two black, two Green.

Then make sure the same sticks are in the same colors. 4GB in green, 8GB in black for instance.

That I know. BTW, what if I ads only one 8gb with 4x2 gb?
That 4x2 will still get dual channel or every ram will act like single Chanel?

Only the set of identical sticks will work as dual channel. The 8 GB would be added as standalone. There simply need to be 2 of the same kind to make use of dual channel.
