2 Kingston Ram and another brand model
I checked with an IT buddy about upgrading your RAM. He mentioned there might be problems and it wouldn’t work. I found some YouTube videos suggesting it should be fine. You have a 16GB Kingston 2666MHz X2, and you’re thinking about adding more sticks. Unfortunately, there are no new 16GB 2666MHz models available right now, so you’d need to switch brands but keep the same speed. It should still function, just not the original brand.
It may succeed sometimes and fail others. Each person gets a different result. Linus made a video discussing this topic a while ago, comparing RAM brands and noting outcomes are inconsistent. I wouldn't suggest making that change unless you have a chance to try the kits with your own system. Even then, it could stop working after a reboot!
It varies; it could function well or fail. If switching platforms, you'd trade your current devices for 32GBx2 of increased performance.
you aim to upgrade the board by adding more RAM slots instead of merely swapping in a larger RAM stick because it provides flexibility and future-proofing options.
Sure, I gathered a lot of discussions from various forums and sites. Everyone agreed to avoid low prices and only considered upgrading the VRM, adding an M.2 slot, using PCIe 4.0, or installing SAM.
It wasn't your query, yet this feels unusual. If you're replacing the motherboard, consider purchasing new RAM instead of upgrading to AM5.
shits a cheap cheap upgrade here in the PH, New gen stuffs are expensive here (huge fucking corrupt taxes) but prev gen stuffs are cheap so yeah
Consider adding more RAM, even if they're from the same brand, unless you bought them together as a set. This increases the risk of problems down the line. Even if it functions initially, future issues like XMP compatibility may arise. Decide for yourself whether to take the chance. Remember, comparing your setup to someone else's isn't fair—results can vary widely between different systems.
