Buying More Memory

[Ophidio]

I'm looking at getting more RAM for my PC and I already have a 2x16GB kit of Corsair memory. If I buy the exact same memory kit as before with same model number, speeds, and latency to give myself 64GB of memory will I have any issues since they didn't come in a kit together?

It is possible that you will, but not guaranteed.

is this ddr5? if it is then I wouldn't as DDR5 is very finicky about quad channel. But for ddr4 its not AS bad. But do you need the extra ram? 32 gigs is still perfectly fine for games but if your doing something other than games that needs the ram then fair enough

And to answer your question, if its DDR5 then get a new kit of 2x32 altogether but if its ddr4 then go for it

So it would be safer to just buy a brand new kit?

See what @filpo said.

Since you have a ddr4 system (I just checked your sig) then it should be fine. There may be some problems so if you have recently had problems then go with a new kit IMO

It is DDR4 and it would be nice to have since recently I've been seeing spikes of 90-95% ram usage when playing games, streaming, and keeping all the tabs open on Chrome that I refuse to close.

Luckily that part of my sig is up to date. xD I haven't had problems with this system with RAM but I did on my older system that had DDR3 where I bought the same kit twice but it gave me so many issues I had to take one of the kits out so I'll probably just buy a new kit and go for some RGB this time as well.
