Hi guys,

I have 2 x 8GB 3466MHz rams installed dual channel corsair and I found one single 16GB same speed 3466MHz same brand but different model. Will it work? So following setup:

2 x VENGEANCE® RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3466MHz C16 Memory Kit

1 x corsair dominator platinum ddr4 1 x 16GB

I have Ryzen 1800x and Gaming K7 AX370 motherboard. My dual channel ram kit will be affected?

    It'll work. It won't run in dual channel mode.

      Thanks for replying, is it much of a difference having single over dual?

        Very little difference in gaming, might be same for other stuff but maybe there is some aspect of video editing where it makes a difference.

          I had the same idea, but just recently saw a lot of game comparison videos on youtube (single 16 vs dual 8 etc) and judging by FPS, it seems like dual channel memory is really worth the trouble.

          @digitizer: think about it logicly, you have an 16l tank with 1 inlet or 2 8l tanks with an inlet each.

          Although the capacity is the same it can only throughput as much as the inlets allow.

          @Seedy seed: Not sure i get your point :) So you are agreeing with me and just saying that it's 2x quicker to get data in/out through 2 inlets as opposed to just 1?

          @digitizer: yeh im saying 2 inlets get the info through faster lol.

    Amd likes faster ram, dual channel is the way to go, not sure though on your scenario
