How much RAM can a Ryzen 5 1600X and Gigabyte GA-AB350 Gaming 3 handle?

Hi community, right now I have 16GB of RAM on my rig (2 x 8GB) and I would like to know if my rig can handle another 2 sticks of RAM of 8GB each.

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz

MOBO: Gigabyte GA-AB350 Gaming 3

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600X

64GB maximum at 4x16GB (16GB per slot).

So yes, you can do 32GB. However,

1) Do you have a reason for more than 16GB? Most people do not, and

2) You may wish to play around with OVERCLOCKING that 16GB as you are losing some performance depending on the application.

I'd aim for as close to 3000MHz as you can get. Some memory overclocks fairly high and some not so hard to say. You might get over 2700MHz.

A few guides exist on YouTube and elsewhere.
