[SOLVED] 4 sticks of ddr4 ram 2 brands.

[wrathofdragon]

AsrockX370 Pro 4
Ryzen 3600
I have had 2 sticks of corsair ballistic 8gb ram. (C)
Its not enough for my work, so I bought 2 Gskill ripjaws 8gb(G) (same speed and same size)
Motherboard supports dual channel ram A A B B
Right now I have [C][no][C][no]

Do I go with [C][G][C][G]
Or [C][C][G][G]
For optimal performance?

Mixing RAM is not ideal, it will work at the stock speeds but needs many fine tuning to reach some speeds as you need to maintain the worst denominator in the timings between the two sets.
[C][G][C][G] is the ideal setup as it at least segments different sticks in two separate channels.

i dont care about speeds too much but i need lots of capacity for the work program i run.... thanks man

I would say it’s not even guaranteed to work at stock settings. There is a good chance it will work but stability issues can occur when mixing RAM. See the odd man out section https://forums.tomshardware.com/faq...y-ram-and-xmp-profile-configurations.3398926/
