Question Hello I have a RAM related question..

[D4rkParadise7]

Soo long story short I upgraded from a 8GBx2 Kit to a 16GBx2 one... Initially I wanted to buy same 8GBx2 kit again and fill all slots but knowing that it could lead to some instabilities or not being able to use it at XMP speed I dropped the idea and bought the same kind of RAM but in a 16GBx2 kit and for fun I said lets see how it will behave if I fill all slots expecting a * show to happen...
Yet to my surprise all works smooth at XMP speed as well. Well so far so good didn't do much to test out because I don't how should I do RAM benchmarks and also I dont have a before and after one too see.... any ideas how I could test out if things are stable and good or what should I look after ?

Links to the ram kits? Make and model of your motherboard? BIOS version for your motherboard? Memtest86 is one test you can run. Then tax the build with your daily tasks.

The memory kits are this type here
And here is a hwinfo summary

I mostly play... cant notice any difference so far nothing at hand to tax it more heavily and not really have and idea with what... and even so I didn't prepared a before and after results.... Initially I was not planing to keep the old kit wanted to re-sale it expecting it not to work or have many issues with XMP and other such issues since from the research I did with memory compatibility on MOBO website...

I did stress test it for 30 min using OCCT and all was fine, will do a Memtest86 tomorrow for safety...
I also found a review for the exact 32GB kit same speed and timing and there they had some AIDA 64 benchmarks.... and the latency was 1 n/s lower and some score also very slightly lower but the test bench they was above my PC so I imagine that a factor and also over all very irrelevant.... I just don`t want it to be slower then before or faster but the same >.<
