Secured a unique situation with excessive memory consumption.
The RAM sticks begin at 2133 for DDR4, but the manufacturer claims they can reach higher speeds without causing stability problems. My system has a 3200 MHz rating, while my motherboard supports up to 2933 MHz. You’d need to manually adjust the speed, keeping voltage set to auto. If you upgrade to OC RAM, test small changes—starting at 2133, then 2400, then 2666, etc.—to see if performance improves.
Don't stress about the amount of RAM you purchased. You likely bought it just for a RAM drive to have more control over your system. Many people have discussed this online. If you have 4 GB and only 1 GB is available, don't assume buying another 4 GB will give you more space—Windows will manage it based on what it needs. It's better to be satisfied with the memory you have because using it infrequently means it won't be worth your money.
