I own 16GB of 4000Mhz CL18 DDR4 RAM and often find only about 9 out of 10GB available in Windows 11. I’m considering an upgrade since the current amount feels insufficient. The main question is how to improve performance beyond just increasing size. A good option appears to be a 32GB upgrade with faster speeds, though it’s slightly slower due to the CL16 rating. Adding quad channels (4x8) could offer better efficiency for a bit more cost. Let me know if you need more details!

Can we explore additional platform specifics? It helps to know your CPU model, motherboard type, and more. These details are important for finding the optimal choice. Also, let me know your location—since the 3600 CL16 tends to be on the pricier side, having price insights would be useful.

I checked the available options on Ebuyer for a 5600X CPU with a Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro AC. It looks like prices are quite low, especially with 16GB RAM at around £150. Here’s the filtered list of specs you can view: https://www.ebuyer.com/store/Components/...6&247=32GB

Keep pushing forward, though it's tough to launch Zen architecture at 4000MHz even on two sticks. Consider going with 3200C16 for better performance.
