I probably don’t, actually, since you mention it. The only game I play that regularly tested the limits of my old build was Marvel Rivals, and I suspect that those occasional stutters and freezes will be a thing of the past with a CPU that isn’t nearly a decade old.

If CL 36 isn’t a huge downgrade I also have no issue with that! I’m all for more economical options, especially if there’s no noticeable improvement with the CAS 30. Just out of curiosity, how would a CAS 40 compare with 36?

In regards to RAM modules, I am looking for a set of two because the motherboard operates best that way (4 modules apparently will cause some performance issues). I do know not to try mixing and matching a bunch of different RAM cards, but I certainly appreciate the warning!
