Question Mixing RAM ?

[tlavanway3]

Hello, I'm currently facing the problem of wanting to upgrade my RAM to 64GB because RAM is extremely cheap right now for DDR4 but I can't find the same RAM I currently have in my PC. Apparently I have a rare version of "Gskill Trident Z RGB" RAM that has timings of CL17 19-19-39 at 3600MHZ

I looked up the exact model of my RAM but I only found one for sale thats like 250 dollars, which is insane for DDR4.

Would be it okay if I bought the same Gskill Trident Z RGB 3600MHZ RAM but with CL18 instead of CL17? Would that cause any problems?

Ideally, you should abandon the old RAM and buy a 2 x 32GB kit, especially if you want to run fast XMP memory overclocks. Two DIMMs often clock faster than four DIMMs.

Mixing different kits can lead to instability, especially at faster speeds. If you do have problems with 4 DIMMs, drop the speed to 3400MT/s, 3200MT/s or 3,000MT/s.

In some games, four is faster, don't keep saying that.
