Hi CdrMittens
1. If your DIMMs are two different kits, even of the same specs. You may run into problems!!
2. You will need to run a stress test to establish stability. Use Prime95 for 10-15 mins on small FFT whilst monitoring temps.or better still use Realbench or even Aida64. Constantly monitor your temperatures using Coretemp.
3. You should test your Dimms as a single module or single kit, (do not mix kits) using Memtest86+. You need to load it on an empty USB stick and boot from the USB.
4. Latest Bios is 2702. Recommend you update for 5th-Generation Intel Core Processors. Go to ASUS support and follow the instructions.
If you are not sure for the best and safest method, Just ask.
