You have two F4-3000C16S-8GTZR modules and plan to add one F4-3000C16S-16GTZR. It should work fine as long as the slots are compatible and the BIOS supports the upgrade.
Several elements affect whether it will perform perfectly. In theory, it should work, but timing and many other aspects matter. The RAM operates at the speed of its slowest stick. You also miss out on quad-channel performance because you'd be using three RAM modules. It's better to purchase another identical set.
If the speeds match, it will function, but choosing a 16GB RAM and opting for two 8GB units in dual-channel configuration can be beneficial.
He claims to have two 8GB RAM sticks and is considering buying more, though it seems he likely only bought two for this setup. He mentioned having four slots—two already occupied—and believes adding another stick wouldn’t help. He also asked if installing another would work properly, which I clarified earlier.
Sure, I think it's likely a dual channel setup based on the machine specifications in his profile.
