What is memory?
We require additional information about this configuration. Please share details such as the CPU/motherboard, BIOS version on the motherboard, RAM model, DRAM type, etc. Having these specifics will help us assess the situation accurately.
Your CPU is a Ryzen 5 7600X with RAM at 5200MHz because of its maximum speed. Your motherboard is an ASUS B650M-A Wifi with AM5 and PCIe 5.0. You have the KF556C40BB-8 RAM installed, but no details on the DRAM IC. The RAM you’re considering is the KF556C36BBE-8 model.
Swap your RAM and upgrade to a new package. Those 2x8GB modules offer lower performance per clock compared to their 2x16GB versions, and it’s not cost-effective just to add another stick. An 8GB DDR5 module costs around $35 for the same model, whereas a 2x16GB set can be purchased for as little as $70. You might sell your existing stick for $20–30 and gain four times the memory with significantly better speed for roughly $10–15 extra, eliminating the need to juggle different RAM types.
