Hello everyone. Tech illiterate newbie here. I got a ASUS Rog Strix RTX2060 6GB Gaming card and am looking to upgrade my RAM on these specs:
OS: Windows 10 Home Single Language 64-bit
System Manufacturer: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
System Model: M32CD_A_F_K20CD_K31CD
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 8118MB RAM
Page File: 8403MB used, 5089MB available
From Intel's website:
Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type): 64 GB
Memory Types: DDR4-1866/2133, DDR3L-1333/1600 @ 1.35V
Max # of Memory Channels: 2
Max Memory Bandwidth: 34.1 GB/s
ECC Memory Supported: No
Am I correct that this means without overclocking the max speed this motherboard supports is 2133Hz for DDR4 RAM? I checked at what speeds my ram runs using CPU-Z it was calculated to be exactly 2133Hz. Worth noting I won't be messing around with overclocking.
There are two ram slots and I want to upgrade to 16GB of ram using two 8GB sticks. Can I grab any respectable brand of DDR4 2400Hz sticks of ram and call it a day? Or should I stick with 2133Hz ram because that's the max supported speed? There are a few 2133Hz DDR4 options available where I live but they look quite old and the 2400Hz options are far more available.
Your advice is greatly appreciated!
