In some mobo's, mixing different ram works fine, in others it can cause major stability issues, and using all 4 ram slots can have some side effects too. Generally, regardless of the amount, using only 2 slots is usually the easiest, most...

Do you run your 3200 kit at 3000 because it fail to reach 3200 ? When you do not mind running at very reasonable speed (like 3000), going over 2 slots, mix-match, etc... is less an issue (usually the issue is that you cannot achieve your 3200...

If it were me, I'd get the 2x16GB and get 3600mhz ram. Then write down all my timings from the 3000mhz kit. Put the 3600mhz in and manually input all the timings from the 3000 kit in. OR Just roll with the 32. I'm not sure I'd worry much...

The CPU is a 9600K? I was going to say just drop in another two sticks and let them run at the slower speed, and then I saw "I don't want to fart around with it." For minimum farting-around, even if it's only potential farting-around, pull the...

Personally I'd add the 2x16 to get 48 GB total. In terms of matching sticks: one option is to go the eBay route. I wanted to grow my Proxmox server from 32 GB to 64GB, and found a lot of potentially matching sticks on eBay. Looking at the seller...

If the old RAM is CL 16 and new RAM CL 18 is it still worth it to copy over the timings? I'm capable enough to copy timings, but not capable enough to know if it's worthwhile, lol.

Ok, thanks to both of you for the help. Just to clarify, the ram I have right now is ADATA 3000. It's not purchasable anymore, so I'd have to mix with ADATA 3200. Or I could just buy whatever and throw it together. Sounds like just getting the 32...

My memory usage is consistently over 80%, and I'm getting little lags that are annoying. I have a ton of tabs open at all times, but that's how I roll and I'm not going to change. I have 16gb of ADATA DDR4 3000 in my rig currently. Should I add...
