RAM Upgrade help
Hi everyone, thanks for your support.
Recently my PC crashed while playing God of War on my home build machine. It showed a mix of blue screens and a black screen. I've been stuck like this for about a month because work demands kept me busy, so I moved my peripherals to my laptop.
I tried swapping the RAM sticks into different slots, but it didn't help. After removing one stick, the system booted up again. I'm hoping this is the issue.
Right now I have two Patriot Viper DDR4 16GB sticks. Would you recommend a replacement?
Since one has failed, I'm planning to replace both. That means two 16GB sticks. It's been a while since I built my PC and I haven't checked everything thoroughly. Performance hasn't dropped much, but I don't notice any issues elsewhere.
My current specs are:
NZXT Switch 810
Windows 10 Pro
Ryzen 5 3600
MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
Patriot Viper 2 x 8GB
Corsair RM 750
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER GAMING OC 6G
Stock cooler with the CPU
In the UK, I prefer to stay under £200.
Choose your preferred MoBo memory QVL:

Remember to select the appropriate CPU on that list "Memory by RX-3X00".
For optimal performance, aim for a supported speed of 3200 Mhz tops. A 3000 Mhz option is sufficient. Going above 3200 Mhz adds little benefit and increases cost significantly without real gains.
All listed RAMs have been verified by MSI to function correctly with your MoBo at the specified speeds. This ensures a faster-than-2133 Mhz operation.
For example, the Silicon Power SP032GXLZU320BDAJ7 is recommended.
