Hello! Your setup is solid—16GB (two 8GB modules) at 2666MHz with CL16 works well. Upgrading to 32GB would require matching the speed and latency, but you don’t need the exact same brand or model. As long as the new RAM matches those specifications, it should work fine. Just check compatibility with your motherboard and ensure the CAS latency stays similar.

it's prefered to be exactly the same kit, otherwise weird stuff can happen, if it's slow ram it'll probably work but no guarantees.

Opt for peace of mind by trading in your existing RAM for a fresh 2x16GB package. Could you share your CPU model and motherboard details?
