RAM Upgrade

[Satnav96]

I think this is the correct place to post this.
I’m looking at upgrading my RAM to 32Gb through PCS. Would it be compatible with my CPU and motherboard. Would I be better off with 1x32gb or 1x16gb? Please see the attached screenshot for my specs. Thank you.

You need 2 x 16GB modules as RAM uses dual channel memory and should always be used in pairs.

What options do you have on the upgrades page on your PCS account?

Okay so you'll need the 2 x 16GB 3200MHz option.

Don't forget to remove the 2 existing sticks. It's not advisable to run different speeds of memory at the same time.

That motherboard only has 2 RAM slots anyway, so might be difficult to squeeze an extra 2 in 😁

Just shows how much of a PC snob I am. Never even considered only 2 slots
