Hello, I completed the installation and received a 4090 module this week. I’m a bit worried about my other components, especially memory performance. My current setup includes an Intel Core i9-10920X with 32GB Corsair memory at 3600MHz. When checking CPU compatibility, it shows DDR4-2933, but I’m using 3600MHz with XMP enabled. Would upgrading to a 4000MHz RAM work? What are your thoughts?

The slightly faster memory speed from 3600Mhz to 4000Mhz wouldn't make that much of a difference unless it was Samsung B-die and you took the time to manually tune it to get the lowest possible timings. If you were using 3200MHz or slower memory, then I would say it " could " be worth it. There is also no guarantee that a 4000Mhz kit would be stable. You could buy it, and if it requires Gear 2 to be stable, it could very well be slower than the 3600Mhz kit you already own.

To help future readers, share the outcomes of upgrading to faster or more RAM if you notice improvements.
