According to available information, the X version is officially validated by AMD while the non-X models aren't, though practical differences may exist. Your current setup uses 2X8GB of F4-3600C18D-16GTZRX, and you're considering adding another 2X8GB. The X variant is less common and more costly, making the F4-3600C18D-16GTZR a viable alternative. Potential downsides aren't specified, but availability and pricing could impact your choice.
Incompatible running sticks often cause problems when you attempt XMP settings with multiple units. This risk increases significantly with high-end systems like Ryzen processors and 3600MHz RAM, where mismatched configurations can lead to crashes and blue screens. You might need to lower the frequency to 3200MHz to get stable performance.
