Good afternoon, your question is clear. You're considering mixing the HyperX Predator RGB HX432C16P3 RAM with the Kingston Fury Beast RGB KF432C16BBK2 model for your Ryzen 3800XT system. Many AMD CPUs are generally okay with mixed memory, so it might be a good option. I’d appreciate some advice on this.
It should function correctly, though I’ll double-check the slots. Dual channel operates smoothly. All parameters match: speed, latency, and voltage are identical. You should be able to run both configurations at 3200Mhz with a CL of 16 at 1.35V. Occasionally you might encounter issues and not realize they’re happening until testing. Also, using four RAM sticks puts more strain on the CPU’s memory controller compared to two, but a 3800XT should handle it fine.
On my machine with an Intel processor, I own two distinct groups of RAM from different brands. When aligning their frequencies and delays, performance should work smoothly, even if using AMD components.
I already have two slots filled with the RAM mentioned earlier. Adding more would fill the remaining two. My main concern is potential problems from mixing RAM types, especially since many people comment on mixing Ryzen and 4-slot setups. Based on your setup on a B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC, it seems safe to proceed. Just use AXMP settings if needed. You might want to check with Kingston for their advice before finalizing.
It should function properly. However, my statements aren't absolute. I won't accept any accountability for this.
I've talked to someone in Kingston about this. They think I could pair it with that model: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/1729642/...k2-16.html. It seems they consider it a direct replacement for my current RAM sticks. They say the reason my original set was discontinued is because HyperX was acquired by HP, which led to its rebranding as Kingston Fury. So, should I be confident in using it, or is it just luck?
