Hello, your current RAM reaches a maximum clock speed of 2666MHz, while your system supports 3600Mhz DDR4. It’s worth considering an upgrade if you want to hit that full potential. You might want to look into higher-end modules that match or exceed 3600Mhz support for optimal performance. Choose wisely based on your budget and needs. Thanks in advance, Josh!

It seems there might be a misunderstanding. The non-SL RAM you own is likely running at a different frequency than the SL RAM. Adding more non-SL RAM won't change the base frequency of the SL RAM itself. You'd need to adjust the system settings or upgrade to higher-frequency RAM if you want to run at 3600MHz.

Yes, it's possible but only if your setup supports it. With 64GB RAM you could likely run a dual-core configuration, though performance gains may be limited. The main issue is the CPU speed—2x16 at 3600MHz won’t compensate for insufficient cores or bottlenecks. Unless you absolutely require 64GB, it’s probably not worth it.

Your RAM won't operate at 3600 MHz by default, even if it can handle it. You must turn on XMP in the BIOS settings (which acts as an auto-overclock). Using four sticks is more demanding for the CPU's memory controller than two, so it might not support that speed with four modules regardless. Certain processors, especially older Ryzen models, have reported problems with this configuration.

Don't hesitate to push it further—you'll be surprised at how much RAM can improve.

I work with game development and 64GB is beneficial for advanced planning. I attempted to turn on XMP settings, but since only two of my RAM modules run at 3600MHz, the system won’t start. Overclocking? That’s not helping.

Adjusting memory settings manually in BIOS rather than relying on XMP. The 3600 value likely won’t offer much advantage, especially if you require more than high-speed RAM. The gain would probably be limited.

That's clear. XMP handles auto-overclocking by using a profile saved in memory chips to adjust settings automatically. When you switch memory sticks, those adjustments may not apply well across all of them. The best option is usually to manually boost the RAM speed—though probably not as high as 3600 MHz—or use four identical memory modules.
