Upgrade to 32GB

oggiet · 12 May 2021 at 20:20

I would like to update my RAM to 32GB, I currently have 16GB.

Motherboard is Asus x99-s and current RAM is Avexir Platinum 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C16 2400MHz Quad Channel Kit.

Whats the cheapest way for me to upgrade to 32GB ? Needs to be low profile due to my cpu cooler.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

A fairly low end kit I suppose, something like this would be a decent upgrade. It's fairly low profile but not certain how far you need to go.
My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Team Group Vulcan Z T-Force 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey= £139.99

Yes Your motherboard supports everything up to quad channel

16gb should be enough surely

Need more for plotting of Chia.

He never asked if 16GB was enough and if he has a Quad Channel Mobo he ideally wants 4 Dimms, I got good jump in FPS in certain games going 16GB>32GB recently (I posted it somewhere in a thread).

Edit: seen he replied as I typed this, since mining I have no interest.

Yeah, that's quad channel platform preferring four identical DIMMs.
That would mean 8GB DIMMs.

There are good CPU coolers with full memory clearance.
