Question should i upgrade the amount of ram

[toastedfsh]

hi guys, i just played helldivers 2 and noticed i was using 13.6gb of the 16gb of ram i have is it time for an upgrade and if so what compatibility factors do i have to consider aside from the amount of sticks i can install (i have an itx motherboard i think so only two slots) all i know about my pc is that it is an rtx 4070 with a r5 5600 and 16 gb of ddr4 ram at 2400 mhz

It would be best to buy a matched set at least 3200 speed rather than trying to "match" this older kit.

Get a 3600 MHz CL16 2x16GB kit. Something like this: https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-ddr4-3600/p/N82E16820232907

That's the sweet spot for the AM4 platform.

cheers guys, what do i have to look at compatibility wise anything to do with the motherboard or just cpu stuff and the CL number or CAS latency?

That GSkill will be a good match for the price. AMD and GSkill play nice most of the time.

If you get this kit, don't forget to load the auto overclock (the name for this depends on your motherboard) in the BIOS. If you just install the sticks and boot without doing anything it will run at the 2400MHz default speed.
