Recall and my foolishness.
Recall and my foolishness.
I’ve spent a lot of time designing and repairing computers. When it comes to helping others, I tend to follow procedures closely. However, with my own machine, I sometimes slip up and make mistakes. The setup I’m talking about is a GSKill Trident Z DDR4 3200 16 GB kit. A while ago, I needed more memory and found extra cash. I went to Best Buy to buy another RAM pack, which they had in stock. Unfortunately, they were out of stock, so I opted for a Corsair Vengeance Pro 32 GB kit and added it to my system. Both kits use DDR4 3200, but now I have two sets of RAM installed. There’s no concrete proof it’s affecting performance, just a growing concern about possible issues. My main worry is whether adding 48 GB would be worthwhile, considering the risks and potential problems it might bring. As a film editor working with 4K and After Effects, I’m not used to forum discussions. If you have any advice or insights, it would be greatly appreciated.
Think about splitting your text into chapters. A long block of text can be hard to read!
maybe that the timings on the sets are different and causing it to go into single channel mode? maybe a near death module? but my main suggestion would be pull all of the sticks out and carefully put them in one by one making sure they are seated properly. (this would fix the problem if theres a small piece of dust, not a good enough connection etc)
It seems I’m not facing any clear issues that can be tested. Occasionally, things like premerie or game crashes happen without a specific reason. It’s possible both RAM kits I’ve checked don’t cause problems. I’ve already made the best decision, so those suggestions aren’t really useful for me.
Usually I haven't faced much trouble with multiple memory configurations in one system. Some motherboards and CPUs handle it better, but all my Intel setups have worked fine with whatever I use. If you're experiencing problems, try removing the new RAM and see if it resolves the issue. It could also help to lower the memory speed to match the CPU's specifications, since running four DIMMs increases the stress on the controller.
