Can I put 8GB and 16GB RAM together?

Yes you can, but I wouldn’t recommend it, as the 16GB will be used as 8GB to run dual-channel with the 8GB you likely already have, and the other half will be used as single-channel. It’s also better to have the same type of ram, as to not affect performance via the voltage, controllers and whatnot.

Can I use 2gb and 8GB RAM together?

You’ll loose the potential of Dual Channel Memory as these two will be of non-identical nature. Dual Channel System gives better performance, provided both RAM modules are EXACTLY IDENTICAL. First of all, yes, it will work.

Can I mix RAM sizes DDR4?

Short answer, yes, you can. Long answer, well you can but you can run into issues like your system no longer booting at all or random errors. You do have to match memory generation though, e.g. no system supports running DDR3 and DDR4 modules at the same time.

Can you mix Ram brands and RAM sizes?

So, can you mix RAM brands or the size of your RAM sticks? The answer is Yes, you can mix RAM sticks and RAM sizes and even different RAM speeds—but mixing and matching RAM modules isn’t the best for system performance.

What happens if you mix up RAM speeds?

One issue you can run into here is mismatched RAM speeds, affecting you in two ways. First, if your RAM runs at 2000MHz but your motherboard only supports 1333MHz RAM, your system won’t use the 700MHz difference between the two speeds. Second, if you mix RAM modules with different speeds, both sticks will run at the slowest module’s speed.

How many sticks of RAM do you need for gaming?

Like the first section on different sizes, you don’t have to use two or four or six RAM sticks. No, you can use one stick of RAM—hence why manufacturers make and retail single sticks of RAM. You can also use three sticks of RAM if you want, but as above, it can come at the cost of overall performance.

Can I use different ram bars for different CPU sizes?

Answer Wiki. Mixing different sizes of RAM bars makes the CPU cycle asymmetric, which can cause delay in CPU’s data fetching that could become a bottleneck and therefore is not recommended. However, this would not cause a problem of compatibility.
