Question about HyperX Fury
I have a question: I have installed two slots on the mainboard. Now 16 GB are installed in one of them. The PC was now always at 60% RAM when gaming. Now I want to expand and install another HyperX 16GB in the second slot. Then I would have a total of 32GB. I wonder now if this is possible at all if I only have 1 slot free. In the videos there are always 4 slots and I only have 2 and one is occupied with 16GB. I would be happy to receive an answer!
If you have 2 slots, you can also use 2, in your case it is best to use 2 identical RAM sticks if possible.
Modern mainboards usually support at least 64GB RAM (1x64GB, 2x32GB or 4x16GB possible), older mainboards sometimes only officially support 32GB, but you will not be affected by this.
If you are unsure, you can always check the manual or online to see how much RAM your mainboard officially supports.
Whether 2 or 4 slots is only relevant if you actually need the amount of memory (depending on the manufacturer and mainboard type, 64GB+), for most of the time 16GB is already enough, 32GB is future-proof for a few years.
A 60% load with 16GB RAM is just under 10GB, of which Windows already needs 3-4GB for standard operation. As long as you don't upgrade your other components or use RAM-hungry applications, you are already well off with your 16GB :)
