July 24, 20196 yr Hi first post, so hope done correctly and in correct forum! Recently had to replace both motherboard and Chip – partly down to 1 PC tech miss-diagnosing issue 1st time round. Current PC setup: • Brand new: AMD FX-8358 Black Edition, 8 core, 4ghz. • Brand new: ASUS motherboard M5A787-M plus. • 8 Gb Ram: 2 x 4GB SP DDR3 1600(CL11) 14028665-11 (16N). If possible would like to keep and add another 8 in the two free slots if possible? • Gdegen 600w switching PSU. • 8gb ATI Radeon 3000 GPU Need your advice on two things: Video card ? removed to appropriate other forum. 2. Would like to upgrade the RAM. Currently in two slots (blue) there are 2 x 4GB SP DDR3 1600(CL11) 14028665-11 (16N). If possible would like to keep and add another 8 in the two free slots if possible? Or will I have to start again and lose what I have? Thanks in advance for advice.
July 24, 20196 yr Mix-n-match RAM configs are opening the door to many hours of frustrating configuration work, screwing around with timings and time-consuming test runs to verify stability. Even if you could find two more of the same model DIMMs, it's an iffy proposition. RAM is cheap enough these days, especially DDR3, that buying a new 2x8GB pair to replace the current RAM would be far simpler and hassle-free.
