Memory Connectors four internally-accessible DDR3 DIMM sockets Capacities 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB 1333 MHz, 1600 MHz, and 1866 MHz Minimum 3 GB Maximum 16 GB Memory types 2- channel DDR3 NOTE: For instructions on upgrading the memory, see “Removing and Replacing Memory Module(s)” on page 37
----------------------------------
Your 2 existing DIMMs should be in the 2 slots comprising the Primary Memory Bank. Since they are a matched set, they should be running in Dual-Channels Mode. You can get CPUID's CPUz and verify that.
Historically, the Aurora-R3 is very particular about memory.
It would have a better chance of success if the new DIMMs matched the existing ones (or at least, as close as possible).
Thanks so much ill have too get that manual and im planning on getting all new RAM would you recommend any certain brand or just find one that works with the aurora
Properly spec-ed DDR3-1333mhz Crucial/Micron should work, but I really don't know.
I suggest you closely match what you have ... I'm not kidding ... Aurora-R3 is the most finicky about ram of all the Aurora R1-R7. Don't try to go extreme/fast speed or anything like that. Just look back at old posts.

Yes, it will do 16gb (4 x 4gb).
I suggest you get Aurora-R3 PDF manuals. It says:

1333 MHz, 1600 MHz, and 1866 MHz
Minimum 3 GB
Maximum 16 GB
Memory types 2- channel DDR3
