Hello. My setup has been active for two years with 16 GB of RAM (two 8 GB modules, G.Skill Aegis F4-3200C16-8GIS). It’s clear the current capacity is insufficient, so I’m planning an upgrade. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H (version 1.x) with two slots, meaning to reach 32 GB I need two 16 GB DDR4-3200 sticks. I’m considering two options: G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB or Kingston Fury Beast 32 GB. The main concern is whether single-rank or dual-rank modules will work as intended. There’s a risk that the motherboard or chipset might restrict dual-rank chips to only 3200 MT/s, limiting performance. My current specs show a BIOS version F56b and an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G CPU. The RAM choice could affect stability and speed, especially if dual-rank is fully utilized.
