Using a RAM module with identical clock speed and brand ensures compatibility.

It's worth trying if you already have them, but avoid it if rankings vary. Issues can arise when rank differences affect speed and latency.
Thanks, I'm using DDR5 and an Intel 13th gen processor. I wasn't aware ddr4 could reach 4800 MHz—believed the max was around 4200. Appreciate the advice to run each in a separate channel; I hadn't tried it before. Cheers!
Based on what I observe, 4 DDR5 modules may not perform consistently right now, especially with 8GB sticks. This is why we recommend a 2x16GB configuration.
You've noticed DDR5-4800 in use, especially when people attempt to run DDR5-6000+. There haven't been any reports of problems with four sticks working together on that configuration.
