Hello, your gaming build includes several high-performance components. With dual-channel RAM already installed, adding more sticks would require a compatible upgrade path. Since you plan to use Adobe Creative Cloud intensively, ensure your system supports higher memory configurations and consider future-proofing your setup.

Increasing RAM by adding two more sticks only expands memory within current channels. To gain additional channels, you require a motherboard that supports quad-channel RAM.

Purchasing identical units keeps the dual channel setting active. But it won’t switch to quad channel. You’d need very costly motherboards and CPUs in the threadripper range.

Yes, adding the same two sticks increases storage capacity, but it doesn't improve data transfer speed or bandwidth.

Yes, identical speeds with additional GB capacity.
