I thought about your setup and wanted your advice. With a G-Skill 1x16GB RAM at 2400MHz and CL17 latency, you might consider upgrading to two 8GB modules in dual-channel configuration, each with higher speeds like 3000/3200MHz and lower latency around CL16. Alternatively, you could add another 16GB module for a total of 32GB, keeping the same speed and latency specs. Which option fits your needs best?

These settings will produce three sticks, suggesting a single channel configuration. Are you considering swapping the existing stick? Which CPU are you using?

Choose the 2x8 gig kit with 16 gigs – it covers most tasks and offers even better performance at higher frequencies.

i only have two slots on my motherboard, but i’m aiming for dual-channel speed. i’m considering either a 16gb upgrade or two 8gb modules in better MHz and lower latency.
