From the title, I'm checking if using two pairs of dual-channel RAM can create quad channel memory. If possible, I'm curious about the extra frames per second you'd get. Your monitor is 144Hz and your PC struggles at 115fps, especially with low settings in CS:GO.

Typical CPU systems don’t offer quad channel support, though they can handle dual channel configurations in pairs. Only HEDT and server-grade chips are compatible with quad channel. Performance gains from adding more RAM usually aren’t significant unless you already have a 4GB configuration. For advice on boosting FPS, share your complete system details.

No that's a dual channel platform, no quad channel benefits (double bandwidth over dual channel in theory) If you have money, getting rid of the entire platform is your best bet (no matter how little you have)

You won’t gain much from adding more RAM. To boost your FPS you might try: reducing certain settings (though they probably won’t help much), speeding up your CPU, or upgrading your hardware overall.
