Any compatibility problem for putting together a SK hynix 8G with 4 chips and a SK hynix 8G with 8 chips ?(if both have 3200 Mhz
An issue of my adding a RAM to my Vostro occurred to me. It has a RAM of SK hynix 8G pretty rarely with 4 chips. I'd like to add a 8G to it. And I'd like to make a dual channel too. But the issue is that it's extremely hard to find a SK hynix 8G with 4 chips. So the question is
Any compatibility problem for putting together a SK hynix 8G with 4 chips and a SK hynix 8G with 8 chips(usually in the market) ? (if both have 3200 Mhz(DDR4))
And is a dual channel available on these two ?
Thanks in advance.
Dave.

Thanks speedstep !
You mean it does not run or a dual channel is unavailable only ?

Mixing rank, density is not supported by Dell or INTEL or AMD.
They must match exactly.

Absolutely wont run dual channel.
Other differences may make it so that each piece works by itself but they dont coexist at the same time.
Either way that configuration is not supported by Dell or Intel or AMD etc.

Hi, speedstep.
Pretty curious if mixing rank or density still can do dual channel. But I watched many videos showing players still get dual channel with size (different ranks even density involved), speed and even brand mixed. The proof on those videos is "dual" on CPU-Z and around 40GB/S (read/write) running 8Gx2 on AIDA64 test benchmark.
Intel started to support Flex dual channel (asymmetric) years back which does dual channel with different size (meaning mixed rank or density).
For your reference only.
