memory ram speed or more ram ?

[ImCraven]

so i have a question i recently had 16gb of ram and 1 of my 8gb sticks broke so it cant be used for anymore so i have ordered 16gb (2 x 8gb) sticks my question is the old ram is 2133mhz and the new is 3000mhz is it worth taking out the 8gb stick and just running 16 gb in duel with the new speed or should i just keep all 24gb in and not bother with the duel / new speed thanks in advance

i tried to up the voltage a bit but it dident help to much and i ran a test called memtest64 and i spat back a ton of errors so idk because the ram is still usable in windows like opening chrome and stuff but crashes when gaming.

You wont need more than 16gb for playing games, i'd go with 3000mhz 16gb. If you're working on your pc it might be better with 24gb

i think that's kind of a big step, but it is possible with a lot of luck

I'd try 1.4 and slowly step up (2133-2400-2666-2800-2933-3000 and so on)
