Expanding these networks with additional rams?
Looking at the details, I have a Gskill Ripjaws V kit with 3600MHz RAM in two 16GB modules. My setup includes a Ryzen 5600 and an ASUS B350F with Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8x3000MHz CL15. I’m considering swapping the Intel RAM from another PC to test performance and see if overclocking is possible. Right now, my system runs at around 3200MHz, which seems achievable. The Intel 12400F G-SPI XG64 is planned for a 24GB total, so compatibility looks good. Expect smooth operation with no major issues.
B350 was designed for a motherboard that might struggle with RAM speeds above 3200 Mhz consistently. The 12400F offers some debate about its advantages with high-frequency DDR4, while Intel generally doesn’t see substantial gains compared to AMD Ryzen performance. Consider replacing the G-Skill with 3200 Mhz RAM for Intel systems that can handle around 3000 Mhz, alongside the existing AMD memory. If your board supports it, test stability at 3600 or 3200 Mhz before adding another 16 GB. Always verify compatibility of the sticks you plan to purchase.
You can use various stick sizes, that should work fine... it mainly depends on whether your current sticks are single or dual rank. Mixing them isn't recommended, and 16 GB sticks are probably meant for dual rank devices. It seems you're wondering if you really need more than 32 GB overall.
