Ladies and Gentlemen,
Thank you for your help, the new system just successfully POST’d…after making me sweat a little.
It’s a Ryzen 5 7600 with an RX 6800 XT and 32GB of DDR5 RAM (2 x 16GB). Here’s the question, I ordered some RAM that is lost in shipping, so I hit the local Microcenter and got 2 sticks of the exact same RAM that went missing, loaded it in and fired it up. That has 2 of the 4 RAM slots filled…but if the other two sticks show up, should I return them or say what the hell and install them as well.
As I said, both are identical DDR5, company, specs, etc…but I doubt I need 64GB and I’m concerned it might be shopping for trouble. Thoughts?
P.S. All those calm “just check every connection“ reply’s paid off, as I spotted the minor error quickly.
