[SOLVED] 2x8gb 3200mhz ram vs 2x8+2x4gb 2133mhz

[Steve_K7]

So I am upgrading my cpu to the new ryzen 5600x. Would it be better for me to run 2x8gb at 3200mhz (16gb) or run 2x8 + 2x4 at 2133mhz (24gb). Is my slower ram going to bring down the performance of the pc? What is more important; higher freq or more mem?

Set up:
Ryzen 5600x
Hyper evo 212 black edition
MSI B550 gaming x mobo
16gb Corsair vengeance rgb pro 3200mhz CL15
Rx 5700 xt
1tb ssd
8tb hdd

Definitely don't include the 2133Mhz stuff. 16GB is fine.

It would actually be better if you run 2x8GB 3600MHz CL 16 RAM. They are cheap. Almost the same price as the 3200MHz CL16.

Forget your old RAM.
