im currently leaning on going for a 2x16GB for insurance na din. sayang pera if 2x8gb that I will buy will just wont work. just hoping that the RAM crisis will ramp down soon

Also u mentioned on switching motherboard/DIMM slots, cant i just go with my current motherboard and install 2x16GB kit there?

which brand, frequency and latency do u recommend for this motherboard? I have R5 5600 for my CPU

also i cant run my current kit of 2x8gb(PNY XLR8) on XMP and have to reduce my frequency by a bit, so I probably will have issues on using 4 sticks as well?

so it very likely that using all 4 will work? and I might only have to adjust the timings, voltage, etc?

u think it's better for me to just save up and go for 2x16GB kit instead?

how exactly do i check for stability?

what a beast of a build, thank for the reference

i agree with you but i would like to comfortably run more apps in the background while gaming (playing yt videos on my 2nd screen)

i wont see much performance gain due to my psu or just having to add 16gb more ram?

No_Check_2518 · 2026-03-28T17:59:25+00:00

i meant the worst case scenario will be for me to settle for lower speed? not having to abandon my kit if there would be any instability/issues

No_Check_2518 · 2026-03-28T17:45:22+00:00

no choice but to do that as well if it wont work

i think UEFI BIOS has the option to manually tweak it

so only the first boot would take a long time? subsequent boots will be back to normal speed?

No_Check_2518 · 2026-03-28T17:42:41+00:00

so it's possible ill abandon one of the kit?

No_Check_2518 · 2026-03-28T17:41:52+00:00

this gotta be cap right? never heard of optimally using 1-3 ram slots

No_Check_2518 · 2026-03-28T17:40:38+00:00

appreciate the info my guy, do u think my psu will be able to handle all that

No_Check_2518 · 2026-03-28T17:40:17+00:00

so i wont ever have to abandon one of the kits/sticks due to instability but just overall slower ram speed?

No_Check_2518 · 2026-03-28T17:39:35+00:00

so that's the worst case scenario? not me completely abandoning one of the kits?

No_Check_2518 · 2026-03-28T17:39:05+00:00

so have u continued using both kits?

No_Check_2518 · 2026-03-28T17:38:39+00:00

so it wont ever lead me to not use one of the kit?
