Question about Ram!
Question about Ram!
Choose a simpler option: include two 8GB sticks of your current model; this should allow running 3200 on four sticks.
Your motherboard seems to have just two expansion slots. Based on the specs, you might need two 16GB RAM modules and set them to dual channel. For an 11th generation chipset, it can support up to 3200 MHz and a combined 64 GB of RAM with two 32GB sticks. What storage device are you connecting—M.2 or SATA SSD?

board has only two slots, so you should resell your current B560. It supports RAM OC, so running 3600 and above works fine, but gear 1 will likely cap around 4000. You might manage 5000+ with gear 2, though it won’t be worth the effort—just purchase the cheapest 2x16 kits rated 3200 or 3600. Branding isn’t important since the RAM modules come from similar manufacturers (Samsung, Hynix, Micron, etc.). If you want fast RAM, consider HMA82gu6djr8n double-sided 16GB Hynix DRAM sticks and a bit of overclocking to about 4000. This means plugging in someone else’s profile for Hynix DRAM and tweaking slightly if needed.
