I have only 2 sticks of vengeance, does this serves well for that configuration or it has to be 4 sticks or more?

I'm going to be perfectly honest with you this thing is loud unreliable and does not help anything is performance if your system is overheating I recommend switching to a water cooling system for your processor

It serves well for 1,2,3 or 4 sticks. Now you have more air flow and less heat with only 2 sticks.

It works fine with any number of sticks. It uses the ram holders to support itself so its not dependant on the actual sticks

Im only running two sticks right now. I over clocked them so they run around 45-50 degrees celcius and with the cooler they are running around 40 degrees. Of course im eventually going to get the other two sticks

Yes I can, I will Adjust my inventory to be one Item for both sticks of ram, one combined price, just let me know if thats ok then I will make the adjustment

You can use 2 sticks of 8GB each for a total of 16 GB. If you are using Linux instead of Windows you may need to download new chipset drivers.

According to benchmarks at tomshardware.com, going from 2 memory sticks to 3 doesn't measurably improve the performance of Core i7 as a single processor config. Apparently there's a lot of headroom on the memory bus for going to dual processors (8 CPU cores, or 16 CPU cores for you folks that count hyperthreading as an additional CPU core).

I have a set of 8GB (totaling 16GB) Corsair Vengeance LP clocked at 1600mh/z and it works fine for me, you can even change the mh/z on the mobo bios which has tons to choose from.

It's dual channel, so you'll get a speed boost by using 2 but you don't have to. 1 stick will work. Recommend 2 though

If you are asking something akin to performance with a single 8 gig stick versus two 4 gig sticks, it shouldn't really matter. You could do a general Google search on the subject to see if there are any numbers out there at all, but the only way to know if the DS81 differs in any meaningful way from the average machine would be specific testing. I doubt that any has been done.

Yes it would affect performance, it is best to put 2 of the same type at the same time in. Like running your 2x4gb or 2x8gb.Also if you are not running a 64bit system it would be useless to do it

You need 2 sticks minimum in order to be able to run dual-channel mode, which will significantly increase the speed. So if you buy 1 of these packs of 2 then you will be fine. As mentioned, make sure your motherboard can accept this kind of RAM(240-pin, DDR3, 1600mhz).

Yes, these are two sticks of 4 gigs each for a total of 8 gigs of ram.They're on sale for $65! Get them! (I paid $85 :p)

Jarrett, What CPU do you have? You can run almost any RAM, personally I use only Corsair....currently using 2 sticks 4 GB each of the Vengeance series. CML8GX3M2A1866C9R. Hope I was able to help you

I think the easy answer is no I don't think you will have problems. but it's a little complex sometimes. You should check the memory compatibility for your motherboard. Also if you have 3 or 4 memory slots using 1 8gb stick with 2 4gb stick will half the speed of your memory I think because it runs at double speed when in pairs. If you do two 8gb sticks everything will be fine but if you use 2 8gb sticks and the 2 4gb sticks you might actually hit the memory cap for your motherboard which is 16gb in some cases.Sorry for long answer hope it helped some.

Yes, I upgraded mine with Corsair's Vengeance 8GB kit. The drawback is that your original is to be taken out. You can however get just one 4GB stick and upgrade it, but it is always better to have a matching RAM.

Yes, it should be fine with an 8GB stick and a 4GB stick. Though you'd get slightly more performance out of 2 x 8GB sticks.

Good for low to med settings of most games. Won't run on highest most likely. I also bought additional ram to insert (has extra slots) If you buy ram I suggests replacing the existing sticks instead of adding one new one as it works best if the slots are filled with the same exact brand and what not. You have to look up what brand and type of ram works for that specific comp but wasn't hard for me to find

Yeah it will work, but I suggest getting Corsair platinum, I have the blue vengeance and it works VERY well, but the platinum would fit better with most color schemes, not to mention if you get 4x2 platinum it would be KILLER FAST for your motherboard. less ram memory the faster, but dont go any less than 8 gigs!

I don't really know, I could find no specs as to low or high, but at 4 Gb's per stick & I have 2 sticks which has been more than sufficient. I multi task sometimes with 3 or 4 programs at same time and doesn't seem to affect the speed any.
