Upgrading to 32gb

GothicGhost · 13 Apr 2022 at 22:05

I'm looking to upgrade to 32GB because my flight sim DCS world eats ram in online mode.

I currently have 16GB, but I think it would be hard to buy the same stuff I already have, so should mix and match a different brand, or would I need to buy a 32GB kit instead?

MB GA-Z170XP-SLI.

Team Group Elite 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C16 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit

Thanks for any help.

I am pc specs are this

Gigabyte RTX 2070

MB GA-Z170XP-SLI.

i5-6600k @4.2 with Phanteks PH-TC12DX CPU Cooler (This was a pre OC bundle from OCuk).

Team Group Elite 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C16 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit

EVGA 850 80+ GOLD power supply

Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB

I did some reading and I think I will just buy some new 32GB ram sticks to save any problems and also get ones that are 3200 as that should work on my MB?

It would work, but your OC may have to change

Sorry for the noob question but why would my CPU OC need to change?
Thank you.
