  • G.Skill RipjawsX 8GBx1 1600Mhz

    Hi G.Skill, I just purchased G.Skill RipjawsX 8GBx1 1600Mhz F3-12800CL10S-8GBXL few months ago and I am planning to purchase another G.Skill RAM again same as the RAM I have, so that my system will be upgraded to 16GB. I know that what I purchase is a Single Channel RAM since "S" for F3-12800CL10S-8GBXL stands as Single Channel. I am using an Asus P8H77-M LE Motherboard supports Dual Channel Memory. The question is, since I am planning to purchase another Single Channel Memory again "F3-12800CL10S-8GBXL" the same as the Memory I have few months ago. Does it affect the performance of my system using 2 pcs. Single Channel Memory F3-12800CL10S-8GBXL since I am using Dual Channel Memory Motherboard? Or should I purchase "F3-12800CL10D-16GBXL" where "D" stands as Dual Channel Memory and sell the old 8GB I have? Is it because I am using a Single Channel Memory RAM I can't upgrade to 16GB RAM and since it's only for Single Channel and not for Dual Channel? What I mean is that, can I add/upgrade another G.Skill RipjawsX 8GB 1600Mhz F3-12800CL10S-8GBXL Single Channel Memory to make it 16GB (2x8GB) even if I am using a Dual Channel Memory Motherboard? Does a Dual Channel Memory Motherboard supports 2 pcs. Single Channel Memory? 2 pcs. G.Skill RipjawsX 8GBx1 1600Mhz F3-12800CL10S-8GBXL? Thank you so much!

    RAM is RAM. You "should" be fine picking up another stick, but overclocking would probably become more difficult. Might have to play with timings if it doesn't work out after plugging in the second time.
    The amount of channels depends on the CPU? I think. I don't know enough about how it works, but with two dimms in the correct slots should work just fine.
