Consider switching to an AMD Ryzen 4000 series for better performance
You're planning to switch from an Intel Pentium to a Ryzen 5 2600, but you're facing some challenges. Your current setup includes a Z170 board and a few older CPUs priced around $300 or more. You can get a Ryzen 5 2600 and a new motherboard for about $300, but you're unsure about the RAM compatibility. You have 12GB of DDR4 2400MHz RAM, plus an 8GB and a 4GB stick. You're curious if your existing RAM will work with the Ryzen 5 2600, especially since Ryzen has specific requirements. Let me know if you want more details!
If it doesn't work, the same 8GB stick should be fine—I might go ahead with that.
Yeah but 100$ for a 8gb stick in aus well 93$ if u want to be specific but a single stick is $42
I can't guarantee anything to my friend. The memory may function together or not. When assembling this, place the sticks in slots A2 and B2, using the larger one in A2. If it doesn’t post or isn’t stable, move the kingston to slot A1. Check if it posts. If it does, you’re good to proceed with the matching stick.
