March 16, 20215 yr Have a Ryzen 5 3600, Asus Motherboard, with 8 gigs of Adata XPG DDR4 3000. I have 16 gigabytes of the same on order. Would I get best by only install one extra stick and holding on to the other one until I can buy only a single 8 gig stick to pair with it or would I do best just installing both for 24 gig total but only 16 gig paired? Thanks.
March 17, 20215 yr Hiya, I would pair your memory to get the best performance. Are you able to push your budget to grab 32GB of Ram and hold onto the 8GB?

March 18, 20215 yr 22 hours ago, Gary1124 said: Probably could. So 16 paired is better than 24 unpaired? Paired is much faster. Unpaired means you're operating the DIMMs in single channel mode. The only way I'd even consider the single channel option is if I had to have the extra 8GB available to keep an application from paging to disk, in which case it's be the lesser of two poor options. If you need more than 16, put two more matching 8GB DIMMs in for 32GB total.
