125 2 6. Sometimes mixing RAM can cause things to behave strange. If you are going to mix the RAM, at least put the 16 GB sticks in the corresponding slots (0 and 2) and the 8 GB in the slots (1 and 3). Even if you did just use the two 16 GB sticks, that will be more than enough. From what I have understood it's the memory pairs that are important. As long as the pairs are matched sets, then you can run 4GB+8GB sticks or 16GB+8GB sets with no issues. Now if you use three sticks in a dual channel memory (2*8GB+16GB), then you have unbalanced channels
In your case, 24GB of RAM is ridiculously overkill unless you do heavy duty video/photo editing simultaneously. 16GB is even a lot, 8GB is optimal. Of course all depends on your usage." - Taken from a response on the link i added.
Hi, we have 2 new 27" iMac's 2.9 QC. 1 has 8Gb ( 2 x 4 ), the other has 16Gb ( 2 x 8 ). My question is can i swap the Ram around so that each Mac has a total of 12 Gb ( 1 x 4 & 1 x 8 ).
Both AMD and Intel have a "flex" RAM mode for mismatched DIMM sizes. You would get dual channel performance on the first 8GB of the 32GB stick (together with the 8GB DIMM), and single channel performance on the other 24GB. Depending on how cleverly your PC allocates tasks, you might see single channel or dual channel performance on tasks which
Solution. #4. It can work together, there is a possibility, but when you pair both together, they run at the same speed. The 2666mhz would downclock to the 2400MHz speed since memory cannot run at different clocks. But as other's have said, it's not guaranteed to work unless you know how to mess with timings and probably even sub timings. Doesn't matter with this type of module on your system. 1Rx8 means the module has a single rank with 8x 8 bit wide chips. Chip density is 8 GB / 8 chips = 8 Gbit. 1Rx16 means the module has a single rank with 4x 16 bit wide chips. Chip density is 8 GB / 4 chips = 16 Gbit. Your 11th gen CPU supports 16 Gbit chip density. Thanks for the comment. The articles I have read about users mixing ram of different Mhz all say that yes it is possible but the lower rates Mhz ram put pull down the higher rated so in your particular case the 32000 Mhz will not operate at that speed it will be pull down by the 24000 Mhz. If your choice is due to price why not just wait a while till you have a bit

Yes they work fine. Had them for a year no problem at all. Salvinha. Mine does work fine. I don't even own the same brand for both kits. G.Skill Trident Z 2x8GB + Hyper Fury X 2x16GB. But both kits are CL17 3600mhz. Most likely it’ll work completely fine.

With the M1 approach to unified memory, the performance of 8Gb is considered to equate to what 16Gb was under Intel processors. So, if you have always done well with 16 on your old machine, it is a great indication that 8 on a M1 will suit you just fine. 2. Saucy_Clams.
Yes they can be mixed They will operate in flex mode. It is always better to have matched RAM for Dual Channel mode. i have 8gb single rank and 16 gb dual rank and for the 16gb is mt/s and 8gb is mhz so it this can mix? Your RAM has to be matching in everything but size and rank, although it is better to be exact.
While the amount of RAM you need depends entirely on your usage, 16GB is a good starting point. While 8GB might have been the standard for years, even a computer uses primarily for web browsing, word processing, and so on, will benefit from a 16GB base level of RAM these days.
Even the higher clock speeds are relatively inexpensive—a 16GB kit of 3600MHz is on sale for about ~ $75 at the time of writing—and if you’re willing to sift through the aftermarket, cheap second hand RAM kits are fairly common. A 16GB kit will run pretty much every game out there, and will provide enough overhead to have a few other
SkyNetRising said: It might. First 8+16 will not run in dual channel mode. It will be either single channel or flex mode. 8+8 will run in dual channel, so better. But if you're not using ram modules from same kit, this can introduce compatibility issues. So best option is to get either. 8GB+8GB dual channel kit or. Bo2j.
