Question Question about ram speeds.

[Shredon]

I have 2x8gb sticks at 2133 Mhz, and 2x8gb sticks at 3200Mhz.
Would it be better to use all of them at once, or only use the 3200Mhz sticks since the 2133Mhz would limit them otherwise.
Thanks!

What the full pc spec?
What is the pc used for?

If you don’t need more than 16gb then the best option is just using the 3200mhz assuming the system supports it. If you need more than 16gb then try running all 4, it might work at 2133mhz but mixing RAM is never guaranteed to work without issues.

I have a Ryzen 5 1500x and a 1070. I use the pc primarily for gaming.

Then RAM speed is more important, go for 2x8gb 3200. However, with a 1000 series cpu you may not be able to get 3200mhz to work, you may have to choose a 2933 or 3000 XMP/DOCP profile instead.

Which MB? 300 series with 1st gen Ryzen is practically impossible to run RAM over 2933-3000MHz.
