I have 32GB of memory-4x4GB +2x8GB, all of the same make & type (Corsair Vengeance DDR3), configured in the MB the slots like below

My question is, have I got them configured correctly, everything seems to be running as it should? The user guide doesn't really cover mixing & matching different sizes except for saying you can install varying memory sizes in the different slots, but doesn't give any guidance on an optimum configuration.
 
Normally I hate running a mix of sizes as they often have different cas and latency etc but as long as you have matched pairs in each channel you should be fine.

Might be worth checking the bios to see of they are running the correct speed (MHz) as on some boards it defaults to a slower rather than the fastest the memory can run at.
