Hi, your system was using an 8x2 DDR4 2400 MHz setup. One stick failed during boot, and you're trying to run both an 8GB and a 4GB RAM module without replacing the faulty one. Since you're based in New Delhi and can't get a replacement right away, you're wondering if this will affect performance while you wait. You're using it heavily for gaming, so I'm checking what impact this might have.

It operates on a single channel with minimal hassle and a 5% efficiency loss. It performs better than the alternative.

Hello, welcome to the discussions. It's possible to use an 8 GB and a 4 GB drive together, but you'll lose dual-channel support which can reduce performance in games by as much as 30 percent. In your case, having more RAM overall is preferable, so go ahead with that.
