Thanks to the incredible help from the people already posting, I have found a perfectly matching pair, my hats off to you, thank you so much. https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/Categories/Products/Memory/DOMINATOR-PLATINUM-RGB/p/CMT32GX4M2C3200C16#tab-tech-specs

How about this pairing? My current set - https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Memory/DOMINATOR®-PLATINUM-32GB-(2-x-16GB)-DDR4-DRAM-3200MHz-C16-Memory-Kit/p/CMD32GX4M2C3200C16#tab-tech-specs The set I'm looking at - https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/Categories/Products/Memory/VENGEANCE-LPX/p/CMK32GX4M2E3200C16#tab-tech-specs To be honest, I don't totally understand ram timings, I've just been looking for a set with as close numbers as possible for both SPD latency and tested latency, only difference I see between these two is slightly higher Tras on the set I'm looking at buying. Should this be an issue?

Small to be unobtrusive, I'm pretty old and can read it at 4k 150% no glasses so thought it should be fine as is. Sooo... Now this minutia is out of the way, any ideas?

Case - Phanteks Evolv X | PSU - EVGA 650w Gold Rated | Mobo - ASUS Strix x570-f | CPU - AMD r9 3900x | RAM - 32GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 3200mhz @ 3600mhz | GPU - EVGA nVidia 2080s 8GB | OS Drive - Sabrent 256GB Rocket NVMe PCI Gen 4 | Game Drive - WD 1tb NVMe Gen 3 | Storage - 7TB formatted Cooled by a crap load of Noctua fans and Corsair H150i RGB Pro XT

Full specs in my sig - also when a site suggests something will ship from China in 14 days, I tend to assume that means more than 14 days will pass and it'll come to light that they don't actually have any to send out after contacting their support lol. OP updated

OK - unavailable anywhere I can find that I trust in the UK, also, if I could find it in the UK somewhere I can trust at the equivalent price listed there, it'd be double the price other widely availible RAM is going for.

I need to upgrade my RAM, been using blender/zbrush/maya/photoshop with some fairly sizable files, and especially for some renders running on CPU in Arnold, 32gb is cutting it fine. I want to double up to 64gb but as very often is the case - my current RAM is discontinued. Or more specifically, I can't find this anywhere in stock, and the last list prices I've found put them at around £360+, way more than other widely availible sticks are going for. My trusted shops - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ https://www.ebuyer.com/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/ https://www.scan.co.uk/ Would like to buy another pair which matches as close as possible, looks don't matter so much just as long as they're not bare green sticks. No red either lol. The specs as per Corsair - https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/Categories/Products/Memory/DOMINATOR®-PLATINUM-32GB-(2-x-16GB)-DDR4-DRAM-3200MHz-C16-Memory-Kit/p/CMD32GX4M2C3200C16#tab-tech-specs I've been running these existing sticks stable at 3600mhz for around 2 years now. Any suggestions for maximum compatibility please? Thanks.

LMAO, it's like... let's ignore this logical argument and allow literally anything.

My first PC, mid-late 90's when everything was new, I had no internet, was pretty alone in figuring out how to do things. Most my software was from gaming/pc mag demo discs and most of what I learned was too, other than from trial and error. Just figuring how to run the shareware copy of doom that came with my PC was a massive achievement and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I didn't know the hardware I was running was already old, I didn't really care, I was 12 and everything blew my mind when I got my first PC. Kinda weird that getting a VR headset is the only thing that's come close to that since.

The best way of doing this would be create a temporary folder on your new drive when you have Windows installed, selectively copy everything over you want to keep and format the old drive at that point, and just move that stuff back again.

You'' be very restricted with what you're playing without a dedicated gpu. Is the plan - get one later?

Unlikely fantastically. You might have had a leg up with an RTX card for DLSS titles but it's going to struggle at 1440p for new titles. Stuff 5 years and older shouldn't be so much of a problem.

I think the largest problem will be unique content creation unless advanced procedural systems are created to make assets. The bar keeps getting raised and that's going to make it increasingly difficult to populate worlds with high quality content. Or at the very least as we get closer to true realism, the amount of time to complete a game will get more unreasonable.

Try killing wallpaper engine first and see how that goes, I've tried it and I didn't like the amount of CPU utilisation/gpu utilisation it took. Sure it's still relatively low but still, more than I'd like to see when in real world use, I hardly see the wallpaper most of the time.

Could be a memory leak in software running. What happens if you just do a restart and leave it for 15 mins?
