Question about 2133mhz

[dariux1x]

So yesterday I decided to order two more ram sticks. I switched from 2 and 4 ram slots to 1 and 3 to see if it fit, cause my CPU cooler is pretty big (noctua).  But now my RAM speed doest go above 2133mhz after XMP enable. Should I be worried? Will it go to 3600mhz after I will put 2 more sticks?

 

moba: x570 aorus elite

ram: f4 3600c16d 16gtzr (G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) 3600MHz CL16 1.35V XMP 2.0)

cpu: ryzen 3700x

Put them back in 2 and 4 until the new RAM arrives then put the new (hopefully matching) RAM in 1 and 3.

But I wonder if it will run at 3600mhz after I will put 4

You won’t know for sure until you buy the sticks, if they are matching then this increases your chances greatly but it isn’t possible to predict it.

Yeah I ordered exactly the same sticks

Great! That is the best thing you can do other than selling your existing sticks and buying new kits of 4 sticks or two larger capacity sticks.

 

All three ways are equally valid and generally work. Kits are always the best way but failing that two additional matching sticks is the next best thing.
