You're considering upgrading your RAM while dealing with compatibility and cost concerns. There are RAM sticks available from other brands that match the speed (2133MHz) and capacity (16GB). These options typically offer similar performance, though you may need to verify compatibility with your motherboard. If a direct replacement isn't feasible, exploring alternatives from different manufacturers could work, but always check specifications carefully.

they work well together at the same pace and power. however, 2133 seems quite limited; you may want to think about upgrading to a 3200 model instead.

Thanks for the feedback. Your setup is still solid with the LGA1151 and i7-6700k, and you're right about staying within the 2400 limit. The video you mentioned is quite outdated, so it's hard to say exactly how much performance drops would be. Generally, beyond that point, gains become minimal unless you have specific bottlenecks.

Alright, let's go with something comparable.
