Thanks for any guidance.

1) Probably, but there is no guarantee. Only a short while ago we had a poster where one stick was single rank and the other dual rank and it would no longer run at full XMP speed.

 

2) You can try, but as always an overclock isn't guaranteed

 

3) Yes. Dual rank doubles throughput so 2x3000 is faster than 1x3200

So I have a

CORSAIR VENGEANCE® RGB PRO 16GB (1 x 16GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C16, model number CMW16GX4M1D3000C16 ( https://bit.ly/3UWNWzv ) RAM

paired with a Ryzen 5 3600 processor on a B450M motherboard.

 

I was just planning to upgrade my RAM to 32GB (2 x 16GB), but the identical model is not available since quite a long time now (always out of stock). So I looked for other RAMs with identical specifications and quite easily found CORSAIR VENGEANCE® LPX 16GB (1 x 16GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C16, model number CMK16GX4M1D3000C16 ( https://bit.ly/3GmgmyZ )

 

The on-paper technical specs of both the RAMs are identical.

Even the model numbers are almost identical.

CMW16GX4M1D3000C16 - VENGEANCE® RGB PRO

CMK16GX4M1D3000C16 - VENGEANCE® LPX

 

So my questions are:

(1) Will they will run in dual channel if paired together?

(2) Since I run my single channel RAM overclocked to 3200MHz without any issue, will I be able to run
      this mixup overclocked at 3200MHz as well? Or will the only run at stock 3000MHz together.

(3) Will dual channel at 3000MHz perform better than single channel at 3200MHz?

 

Thanks for any guidance.

Thank you for replying Eigenvektor. Guess I'll not take chances and buy a dual rank kit to stay on the safe side.

Thanks again with regards. Much appreciated.
