Need 2x 16GB to go with existing set...

Shampoo · 5 Aug 2023 at 21:54

Currently using Team Group Vulcan Z T-Force 32GB DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit Grey. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...4-pc4-25600c16-3200mhz-dual-ch-my-0aj-tg.html

Need another compatible set to max out my board, but cannot find these ones in stock. Can someone assist with another 2x 16GB set that'll go with them. Board is ASUS TUF Z390- Plus Gaming.

Failing that, would this set work with the board as a full replacement? https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...-ddr4-pc4-25600c16-3200mhz-qua-my-09y-tg.html

Have you called Overclockers to see if they have a delivery date for your original memory?

If you're replacing the RAM I would go for 2x 32 GB rather than 4x 16 GB.

Given it was a few years ago now, I suspect they've went end of line.

Is there a benefit to going that route? If so, then these? https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...-25600c16-3200mhz-dual-channel-my-4ce-cs.html

FYI: if you buy single rank 16GB sticks, or 32GB sticks, you may need a BIOS update, since these didn't exist when the board was shipped.

I couldn't find a Z390-PLUS on Asus support website, but your BIOS is probably the same:

Good to know. I'll do the BIOS tonight.
