Ryzen 3900X upgrade from 16Gb to 32Gb

[Nikumba]

Current have a R9 3900X in a x570 board with 16Gb of
VENGEANCE RGB PRO BLACK 32GB (2X16GB) 3600MHZ AMD RYZEN TUNED DDR4 MEMORY DUAL KIT - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...zen-tuned-ddr4-memory-dual-kit-my-4bw-cs.html

I want to go up to 32Gb as wanting to do some virtualisation and also getting the new MS Flightsim and that might need a whole chunk of it as well.

Currently overclocked to 4Ghz on the CPU and running at 3600mhz for the memmory.

Am I better getting another 16Gb kit of what I have or replacing it with 2 x 16Gb kit if so what kit would people recommend?

Thanks

Kimbie

Getting another 16GB kit can be awkward especially for the memory controller. Going 2 DIMMs is almost always better.

Expensive but worth it: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...00c16-3600mhz-dual-channel-kit-my-002-8p.html

I did think would be bit of an issue I was looking at the 32Gb kit of what I already have https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...zen-tuned-ddr4-memory-dual-kit-my-4cl-cs.html

May aswell spend the extra £30 for 16-16-16-38 over 18-22-22-42 of the Corsair

Not to mention that 8pack kit which I'm assuming it is will also overclock better to 4000+ which should be beneficial in the future if OP is looking to upgrade to zen 3.

Didn't think of that good point, of course just check and price gone up by £20 from when GregI posted

OcUK routinely cycle the different TeamGroup SKUs on offer. It'll be £199 next week around this time.
