I have one 16GB stick at 3000MHz. Could I connect another 8GB stick with the same frequency? Would that create dual-channel bandwidth? And would it impact my gaming performance?
The result could be uncertain; it might function or not. If it does, you'll run in FLEX mode with 8+8GB in dual channels, whereas 8GB would use a single channel.
Combining sticks can sometimes help, but it depends. If it works, the 16 gig will use dual channel and the 8 gig single, which is better than using them separately. However, this setup isn’t as efficient and will likely slow things down compared to running everything in dual.
The explanation contradicts what you said. Under heavy usage, RAM operates in both dual-channel and single-channel simultaneously... According to Intel's site.
where am i wrong? 8gb stick + 8gb from 16gb stick forms dual channel, and 8gb on 16gb stick run single channel so 8+8 in dual channel, 8gb in single channel unless im reading that intel quote wrong
I made the changes to your post, though it wasn't exactly in the way you intended.
I got the message wrong from the start. The explanation you gave was hard to follow, and @TofuHaroto made a similar error that @Moonzy highlighted.
