The device in question is a Crucial 2400 CL17, though it may be operating at lower speeds like CL16 or CL18.
You might consider purchasing another identical module for dual-channel operation, allowing both to run smoothly at 2400 CL16.
Personally, I’d look into a 2x8GB 3200 kit for a possible improvement of 10-15fps over the 2x8GB 2400 model.
I’m unsure of local pricing, but in the US, 2x8GB 3200 CL16 typically costs between $65 and $85 (non-RGB).
Prices for RAM have been inconsistent recently, with slower kits matching the cost of a 3200 CL16.
If you’re unable to secure a 2x8GB 3200 CL16 within your budget, opt for a kit with a cas latency of 2933/3000 or 2666.
Kits featuring even cas latency tend to perform better with Ryzen CPUs, though you can still choose a model with higher cas latency and adjust settings accordingly. Lower cas latency is preferable but comes at a higher cost.
