G.Skill 2x8gb clocked at 2400MHz
AMD Ryzen 5 2600
Prime B350-Plus
Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti
1920x1080

 
As wildcard said, use something like HWMon to monitor your system on the fly. Look at CPU/GPU temps etc. You can also set up the on screen display in MSI afterburner to see whats happening while gaming. I'd suggest doing that, then playing rust, and look out for usage at 100% on either CPU/GPU and temps lower than 80c for CPU and about 85c for GPU.

What are temps that will start to affect performance in a negative way?

(update, 55c, 57c max, pretty sure this is the highest it will go)

It also happens in GTA 5 or Arma III, but there isn't a huge impact like Rust.

Ok, try this.

-Update the BIOS
-Enable XMP in the BIOS. (Your memory is slow for Ryzen, going from 2133-3200 can make almost a 20 FPS difference).

This may help reduce those dips.

I did update the BIOS, i had to anyways for the CPU.
I was going to get 3000MHz but someone got me 2400MHz to save a few dollars.

What if i get another 2x8gb clocked at 3000MHz, i have 2 DIMM slots left.

Don't mix & match memory (even if identical kit) as it may not work. I'd sell your current kit and buy a 2x8gb kit @3000mhz then enable XMP.

Even if i get the same exact g.skill 2x8gb 2400mhz?
About XMP, im not sure what it is, please explain if possible

The goal isn't to get you *more* RAM, it's to get you *faster* RAM.

XMP stands for extreme memory profile. It allows you to use faster RAM than you could otherwise.

Is there a risk of very high temps after pushing the RAM to its limits?

Don't buy 2400mhz memory, it won't improve performance, you need a 3000mhz kit.

XMP is a option in the BIOS that makes the memory (RAM) run at the correct speed. Right now your memory is running at 2133 more then likely and due to that your losing a few FPS in performance. By enabling XMP (or DOCP, it's Asus version of XMP) you can get the memory to run correctly. You also may want to make sure the memory is in the correct slots, which are usually slots 1/3 or 2/4 but that information is located in your motherboard manual.

It says it's dual channel so i assume they are in the right slots.
