Hey everyone, I've got an 8GB RAM stick installed and the specs are visible on the CPU-Z screenshot you shared. You're thinking about adding another 8GB stick to enable dual-channel operation. Should you opt for the XPG ADATA GAMMIX D30 DDR4 8GB (1x8GB) 3000MHz U-DIMM or the G.Skill F4-3000C16S-8GVRB Ripjaws V DDR4-3000MHz CL16-18-18-38?

Obtain the identical device as the one you possess, or purchase a matching set and resell the original. No assurance that any two unpaired DIMMs can function together.

You're currently using a 2666MHz RAM setup. Which motherboard are you running? If your memory speed is limited—like on a B360 board—don’t invest in 3000MHz RAM unless it’s more affordable; opt for another 2666MHz option if it’s cheaper.

It seems like you're discussing hardware compatibility. The best approach is to obtain the identical model you already possess. Trying to match RAM isn't ideal since it often leads to incompatibility issues. If you can't secure the same model, consider purchasing a fresh set with the desired memory capacity. Avoid mixing matching modules as it increases the risk of problems.
