I have just built a new Ryzen rig around a 3900x and a Aorus X570 Elite motherboard, its running 32GB (2x16GB) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000MHz C15 Ram, I mainly doing video editing so thought about adding another 32GB of the same Corsair ram. Now the question is should I just sell the 3000mhz Ram and go for something faster or could I overclock the 4 sticks if possible. Or just get the 64GB 3000mhz and run it at stock?
 
I don't know if it's the case for all X570 boards but I can't get 4x16GB to run much over 3000mhz. So spending a lot for faster RAM may not be of great benefit.

I'm using the Asrock X570 Taichi and 16GB Corsair Dominator Pro 3466mhz RAM modules.

2x16GB happily run at 3733Mhz

4x16GB struggle to boot much above 3000Mhz.

always tricky trying to boot from 4 sticks, but you can keep experimenting
 
I'm running 4x8GB at 3600Mhz with 3900x on x570. No issues at all, will run a mild overclock but wont go anywhere near as tight timings as I had on 2x8GB.

Edit: Misread thread title, but should still apply to running 4 sticks.

8GB sticks are usually single rank and 4 single rank sticks aren't anywhere near as difficult to work with as 4 double rank modules.
