Posted November 13, 2021 I purchased a new pc 6 months ago, however it only had 8gb of ram, so now I've decided to upgrade it. Is this ram any good? Kingston FURY 16Gb 2666, cl16 ddr4.? I have a Ryzen 3 3300x processor, and a 1650 super GPU. Also, debating leaving the existing 8gb module in, and just add this 16gb. I know the speed of the modules will only be as fast as the slowest, and won't be paired, but 24 GB of ram is better than just the 1 16gb module.. right?

Posted November 13, 2021 Zen 2's memory controller can handle 3200MHz pretty handily... do you know the speed of the existing RAM? It's entirely possible that I misinterpreted/misread your topic and/or question. This happens more often than I care to admit.

Posted November 13, 2021 Author Probably leave it in, run 24 GB. The 3200 GHz was close to £10 more.and I couldn't justify the additional cost. I don't play the most upto date AAA titles, so won't really benefit from the 2666 Vs 3200 speed difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see an issue if you're not concerned with speed, nor with the module itself. It's entirely possible that I misinterpreted/misread your topic and/or question.
