Should I upgrade my memory?

[Jarkkoh]

Hi,

 

I have a pc for music production and it’s not too new anymore. At some point will upgrade everything, but for now wondering if I should try to squeeze better performance by doing small ugrades.

 

I have 8x8gb memory sticks, total of 64gb. Half of them are 2400mhz, half 2666mhz. I think they are CL 16. System shows all of them are running at 2400mhz. If I try the xmp OC profile on them, I tend to get an unstable system. Probably due to them being different speeds so I run them at the lowest native speed.

 

Would I get any decent performance boost by upgrading to 4x16gb 3600mhz sticks which would all be identical and I believe CL16 as well?

what cpu and mobo are in this system? 

[Somerandomtechyboi]

is this two 4x8 kits in one system or is this four 2x8 kits in one system?

 

Also could you send a screenshot of thaiphoon burner? Just incase if the ram ics are decent and worth keeping but i wouldnt be surprised if they are trash hynix mfrs, micron rev a (d9rxx), etc.

 

 

Full system specs? 8x8 config suggests x99 or x299 (i assume the latter)

Does the software benefit significantly from faster ram? I think that is the main question. As this is a 4 channel system you already have more bandwidth than most dual channel DDR4 systems already.

I wouldn't expect a huge improvement by just increasing the RAM speeds some.
