Aurora R7 memory upgrade
So I just got my R7 and wanted to upgrade my memory. It came with only 1 stick of 8gb ram 2666 in slot 1. I want to upgrade simply to 16gb 2666 for now I might expand it later on. But I'm wondering if I get an extra 8gb ram stick with the same specs and CL should I put it in slot 2? Or would I need to put it in slot 3 or 4 if they were different manufacturers?

Hi Coolsbreeze,
If it matches all specs, it should work. They should go on 1-3 or 2-4. Not on 1-2 or 3-4.

So it should be paired with the stick that's already in my pc then right? But I heard that different manufacturer's ram can cause problems.

It is always better to use same brand - same specs. Different brands may either work or not.
