Installing 2.3 GHz RAM alongside a 2.3 GHz memory module
Installing 2.3 GHz RAM alongside a 2.3 GHz memory module
I'm planning to upgrade from my current setup of two 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000mhz RAM to two additional 8GB 3200mhz units, inspired by the XPG Spectrix D60G. My goals are to enhance RGB performance and boost RAM speeds to 3200mhz. If the D60G proves reliable, I'll consider purchasing another pair to replace my existing setup. I'm running a Ryzen 5 3600 on an Asus Rog Strix B450-F motherboard. Once I have the new RAM, I'll aim for a total of four modules at 32GB. Regarding performance tweaks, should I overclock the 3000mhz or underclock the 3200mhz? My budget is roughly $100. The second option would be the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro—any other brands offering solid 3200mhz RGB are worth mentioning?
Don't mix RAM from different brands and different speed with Ryzen. High chance it's not gonna run faster than 2133 and there's even a chance the system don't boot at all. Sell your current RAM and buy a 2x16GB kit.
I understand... if you combine the Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000mhz with the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200mhz, both from the same brand, your goal is to reach 32GB of RAM. You plan to either upgrade the 3000mhz unit or add more 3200mhz units until everything matches 3200mhz. You might need to skip the RGB option then.
Corsair Vengeance uses various types of DRAM modules. Perfect performance requires all four sticks to use identical chips, coming from the same production run for optimal results. Only purchasing a complete set of four satisfies this condition.
