This may be obvious, but can u combine 2x 16GB 4266mhz kits to make 32Gb? They don't have this option available so I wondering if there is a limitation with 32 GB at this speed.

So long as they're the same RAM (and should really be the same versions), yes.

However, generally increasing populated DIMMs will put more stress on the IMC and therefore make it harder to achieve high frequencies. Don't expect 4x8GB DIMMs to achieve beyond 4000MHz.

That's not too bad but I think there is some room for some tighter timings. :D

Nice! Is that with an AMD mobo or Intel?

Intel Asus ROG motherboard. It will go a lot higher: 4000 with 2 sticks, and 3733 with 4 sticks, however needs a lot more volts. After testing 3200 using 1T, I found it gave better results than the higher speed ram running at 2T, as well as using a lot less volts. Running 1T at higher speeds requires over 1.4V so I'll use that for benchmarking.

Anyone know if these have any compatibility problem with the Ryzen boards?

Because apparently some modules do and can't run at full advertised speeds.

I have 2 * 16GB(2*8GB) 3200 CL14 kits, they work well with a Ryzen PC. With 2*8GB I only had to select the XMP in the BIOS and they ran at 3200 no problem. With 4*8GB I’m using 2666, might go higher? I tried 3200 but it would not boot and I did not want to mess with it so set it to 2666.

Thanks, I thought you might have achieved a miracle getting the 32gb to run at those speeds on a Ryzen motherboard.
