Hello, your recent order of two 3600 MHz sticks and 16 GB RAM seems to have some concerns. There might be issues if you bought the RAM separately instead of a complete kit. I understand your worries, especially since you're new to building PCs. The seller mentioned compatibility problems, which could affect your setup. You chose the cheaper option, but if it doesn't work, you'll need to cancel quickly. Your RAM purchase was correct—two Crucial Ballistix Black DDR4 3600MHz 16GB units. Please let me know if you need further clarification.
A matching set tends to work better together; purchasing two singles from the same store at the same time reduces the chance of them clashing.
They could still come from different suppliers even if they share the same part number.
They sell matched pairs intentionally. Issues are uncommon, but if you really need the device right away, are you willing to take the risk?
It seems like you're planning to invest a little more time or effort, but the overall impact won't be significant. You mentioned trying to save some money by doing it differently and appreciated their support.
