Consider purchasing a 32GB unit priced reasonably, a bit above a 16GB model. Or opt for a brand-new 16GB kit with 3200MHz specs. I’m unsure if the 32GB can be upgraded to 3000MHz—possibly need to adjust timings and voltage. The GSKILL TridentZ 32GB uses Intel technology, while Ryzen would require different considerations. For a more affordable option, you could add another similar stick (like the ADATA 8GB 2400MHz) and enable dual-channel. Let me know if you need further guidance.
Which processor is it? Do you require 32GB of memory? What clock speeds are listed for the 2800 model?
2000 series Ryzen faces issues with RAM speeds even above 2933 MHz. If you mainly play games and plan to upgrade later, opt for the 16GB 3200 kit. If XMP stability is lacking, lower the RAM speed to 2933. For tasks like editing or rendering that require more than 16GB, choose the 2800 kit and push it to 2933.
Several individuals reported successfully achieving 3200MHz on a Series 2000.
the gap between 2933 and 3200 isn't very large, actually. upgrading from 2000 to 3000 series might not be necessary, but jumping straight to the 5000 series would require a new motherboard. official support is available for 2933 only. some users manage to run it at 3200, depending on how much you're willing to adjust and fine-tune manually if the xmp profile isn't consistent.
