Hi, your Asus TUF Gaming B450M-PLUS II is running well with the current setup. Adding two 16GB DDR4-2666 kits would bring your RAM to 48GB, which should handle your workloads smoothly. You mentioned performance issues with large files, but with sufficient memory, the system should manage those better. Let me know if you need further tips!
Memory blending isn't advised, yet the chances of failure are minimal with a solid controller like the 3600 at 2666MHz. If the system starts up, it should be okay. For a 2x16GB setup, opt for a 3200MHz model. The likelihood of success matches the 2666MHz version, though cost might be similar or lower. Running a 32GB kit at 3200MHz could outperform a 2666MHz 48GB configuration if your RAM stays under 32GB.
