Hello, I'm trying to upgrade my RAM from 8GB to 16GB. I have some concerns about this change. My laptop currently has a weak BIOS that doesn't support XMP, and my existing RAM is running at 2666MHz with a CL19 timing at 1.2V. I'm considering switching to a 16GB RAM module with a 3200MHz speed, but the timing would be at CL22. The specific kit I'm looking at is here: https://eu.crucial.com/memory/ddr4/CT2K8G4SFRA32A. My main question is whether I'll fully benefit from a 3200MHz setup or if sticking with the 2666 kit with tighter timings would be better. Thanks in advance!
