You’re considering an upgrade from 8GB to 16GB RAM for your ASUS ROG Strix G17. The current specs show a 3200MHz CPU and 21CL, so you’re looking at a compatible option around 8GB at that frequency. Upgrading would boost performance, especially if you plan to run demanding games or multitask heavily. However, saving up for a dual kit of 16GB might be more cost-effective in the long run, as it avoids the expense of buying two separate modules. Weigh your needs and budget before deciding.

Combining sticks might sometimes help, but only if it does, then timing could be off, so be careful.

Usually it wouldn't cause any trouble. Everyone will operate at CL 21, which isn't a major concern. If problems arise, refreshing your BIOS might resolve them.
