I'm having trouble locating a suitable RAM kit at a reasonable cost. Upgrading from 16GBs x8 to 32GBs x8 seems like a big jump, especially if you stick with the same vendor and speed specifications. My current setup runs at 3000MHz, which is already boosted to 3600MHz, and I'm planning to reach that level. I'm considering mixing different kits from the same manufacturer and checking if their speeds remain consistent. I also have a Ballistix Sport LTE 3000 CL15 with 8GB x2 and am looking for the latest Ballistix 3000 CL15 8GB x2 model.

essentially everything would need to stay consistent, speed and CL.

Based on what I observe, everything seems identical. I’ll be using the Ryzen Calculator to adjust settings manually since it’s measured in microns.
