Configuration for RAM module
You're considering how to set up your dual-channel setup with the new stick. It sounds like you want to optimize performance by using both sticks effectively. Your question is clear, but it might help to confirm a few details—like whether your motherboard supports dual-channel with both sticks and if there are any specific guidelines for slot assignments.
Combining RAM is generally not recommended. However, since they’re from the same manufacturer and have identical speeds, you might consider placing the two 8GB modules in Channel A and the 16GB module in Channel B. The 8GB sticks should go into DIMM1 and DIMM2, while the 16GB stick should be in DIMM4.
