I purchased two Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 8GB sticks at 3600MHz each. I need additional ones to expand the slots for RGB. I can buy from either the link you provided or another site. I usually keep under 16GB, probably because I don’t do video editing or anything similar. For around £50, it’s a good amount—it gives more than enough space now. It could still be useful later if my RAM needs to hold more for caching. What do others think? Thanks.

I wouldn't consider purchasing anything like this. I prioritize practicality and generally dislike RGB lighting.

I believe purchasing fillers is completely unreasonable, particularly given the cost. For better results, consider saving a bit more money and opting for RAM instead.

There are countless practical ways to spend 30 quid instead of wasting it on fake items. Are you constantly checking if this really bothers you? Invest that amount in things like a chair, speakers, keyboard, mouse, or headset. Real value beats fake.

You already have everything covered, right? So I assume the main focus is still on RAM and caching.

He just takes the cash without anything in return. Not worth it for a fake setup. It’s as if you’re adding a melon cannon exhaust to a 2005 Civic—completely pointless and only shows off to those who don’t understand the details.

I have a different take than the others. If you're worried about this, I'd rather get fake sticks to finish it. Be honest, you probably won't need 32GB of RAM if you're only gaming lightly—what's the point of spending extra £50? People buy cable modems for reasons that don't impact performance, yet they still buy them.

Are you purchasing them because of their appearance, or is there another benefit? In my opinion, there isn’t any other advantage beyond that.
