RAM Upgrade, not sure which to choose
Posted by PiotrS_CE@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 1 comments
Hi guys, I am looking to upgrade RAM in my desktop. Currently I am running 2x16 gig 16-19-19-39 kit from G.Skill (F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC, to be exact) in a dual channel and want to add another 2 sticks to increase capacity.
I know that all ram modules should be the same in the best case, but I´ve been wondering if it could be a bad idea to throw in a bigger kit (like 2x32GB), although with a slower timing, but same frequency (for example CL18). Would it be a big difference, if any?
I am mostly working with RAM-hungry Adobe apps like Lightroom Classic, Premiere, AfterFX, sometimes gaming.
Rest of the build: I7-13700KF, MSI MAG Z690 TOMAHAWK DDR4, RTX3070
Thank you for any advice!

Mixing ram kits is always a mess. You might get lucky and have them work together at 3600 c18, but more than likely you'll have to settle for something like the base speed your cpu supports.
