Question 4 Sticks vs 2 Sticks

[Came12on]

simple question...

I had 16gb 3200mhz CL16 ram (2x 8)

Vengeance Pro RGB 2x8GB 3200

I just bought without thinking, another 2 x8 of

Corsair Vengeance RGB Black PRO 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3200MHz

Was this a good thing to do? is 32gb going to give better performance than dual channel 16?

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 6-Core Processor 6/12
Motherboard: ASRock B450M Steel Legend
RAM: 32 GB
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8 GB)
Monitor: AOC International (USA) Ltd. 24G2W1G4 (1920x1080 / 24 Inch)

Thank you

Mixing ram is a gamble. It probably will work but it might have stability/post issues.

Assuming it works fine, it should be able to run in dual channel and have similar performance to just the 2x8 kit alone.

use cpu-z spd to check both jedec for similar settings they might not work on same jedec then compare with memory tab using only one stick of each in system .

They have the exact same JEDEC readings
Edit no they don't actually

pro is cl 16-20-20-38 the other is cl 16-18-18-36 and are rgb the only other parts is they run at 1.35 volts each . go in bios and set all ram to the pro settings might be able to have them work at same speed .

That's not the point. What's the version number of each kit?
