Hey, I see you're facing some memory hiccups while gaming. You have a solid setup with your HyperX Fury 2400Mhz cards and the MSI B250 PC Mate. You're thinking about adding more memory to keep things running smoothly. Since your current build has 8GB total and you're using dual channel, adding another 4GB should work as long as your motherboard supports it. Check your PC specs—your system is running I5 7400 and has dual channel slots in the A2 and B2. Most modern motherboards, including MSI B250, can handle this upgrade without issues. Just make sure your RAM sticks are compatible and that you're using the latest BIOS updates. Let me know if you need help finding a compatible stick!
It depends on your needs. Quad channel offers better performance, but dual channel provides a noticeable improvement for most users. If you rarely use high-end games or streaming, saving 20 euros might be fine. Otherwise, investing in two sticks could pay off over time.
It might function well if you purchase the 8GB variant of the 2400Hmz C15.
Quad stick performance on consumer devices matches dual channel speeds but adds more load on the IMX chip. It's a good choice if extra capacity matters to you.
