Last year when I built my computer my memory was originally delivered to the completely wrong address so new egg sent me a replacement. By the time the original package made its way to me I'd built the computer and didn't feel like getting back into it, so I threw the memory in a drawer.


It is:


G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-32GVK - Retail


Today I finally (a year later) got around to trying to install it, and I can only fit one of the two sticks I have into the motherboard without removing the cpu cooler (not interested in doing that today!) .


So now I have 48gb of ram in my computer. A quick google search told me that although installing an unpaired memory isn't as good as installing a paired, it is better than not installing it at all. (and all three sticks of ram are identical).


Are there any negative side effects that might not have shown up in that cursory search on my phone?
