Hello everyone, I was considering increasing the RAM in my computer. My current setup includes: motherboard Asus Prime B450M-A, 2 x 8GB at 3200Mhz A-DATA XPG Gammix D30, and a Ryzen 5600X CPU. I checked some offers and found a package of two 16GB modules at 3600Mhz, but my motherboard only supports 3200Mhz RAM. Would that cause any issues? I also saw a more expensive option with two 32GB sticks at full speed. Thanks in advance for your help.

Your board supports up to 3200 MHz, so a 3200 MHz device should fit. Beyond that it could still function, though performance may vary. 2) Having extra RAM helps only when you frequently run out of available memory.
