New RAM for 8086k

Hi all, I currently have a 5960X and Kingston Predator 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz memory.

I’m looking at the 8 pack kits but not sure which to go for. I’d like 16GB for now and would like to achieve a 5Ghz OC on all cores.

Will my memory cut it? If not what speed should I be looking at as prices are similar?

Your memory will work fine and do a good job.

For better perf you could go like 3866 8Pack stuff which is working very well on most boards 2x8gb at 4000mhz.

Thanks. I may turn my 5960X stuff into a NAS/Unraid so if I do I’ll get the kit as advised.

Honestly I think you are wasting your money if you do. Tests have shown that really there isn't much difference in performance in the real world and 3000MHz is great. You would do better spending the money on something else. Course if you are burning cash then why not???!!!
