I would do a full memtest...   Mine booted right up and even got 45 minutes into a few flights after adding the two additional sticks before CTD or hanging... 

Oh I know. I've run a Karhu test at 600% coverage and thrown a few intensive games at it, it's rock solid. Though I will be doing a quick BIOS update, reset BIOS completely and start over as well.

WOW! I can't believe how many of you jumped at the thought of adding another 32 GIGS without first trying how your system performs as is currently constructed. Please share any improvements with MSFS 2020 after the upgrade. Thanks!

no improvement in msfs2020, ive had 64 gb for a while now, it doesnt help with msfs2020, but with msfs2024 it should

Managed to drop the CL a bit, so currently running 28-36-36-28. So very satisfied with the Corsair kit, if anyone's looking to upgrade 👍

I'm using CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL30. I have 2 empty slots on my MB, so I will order 2 more sticks if needed for FS2024.

I was going to do that but apparently you dont get the same speed across all 4.

 

Which is BS ,as it should.

Hence why i am selling my 2 and getting 2x 32gb

Example MB chart.

from left to right B1 B2 A1 A2 for 2 sticks put them in B2 and A2

for 1 stick, put it in A2 (4th slot from left). Almost all MBs have the 4 slots in the exact same order.

To find RAM that is compatible, go to your motherboard maker's site and look for the page or file called QVL for your specific MB model number. The QVL list for any maker is the list of RAM model numbers which the motherboard company declares is compatible with each model number of their motherboards. It makes no sense to try non QVL list RAM.

 

 

3 sticks is not recommended usually.

4 sticks: fill 'em up!

The most trouble free is usually 2 sticks

then 1 stick next, then 4 sticks, then 3 sticks is the most risky.

This most be the first game that recommend 64 MB Ram, it's insane, I think it is a typo.

I agree, 64gb is nuts.

Hopefully the likes of digital foundry will get their hands on 2024 and produce a comprehensive technical review - they did for 2020.

64 MB is a while ago.
But if you mean GB, the recommended spec is 32 GB RAM. 64GB is de ideal  spec.

I'd be cynical about 64GB except for the streaming nature of 2024 where insufficient RAM would affect performance.

I was going to wait and see, but the lack of high quality DDR4 RAM on my favourite supplier's site made me jump now. I don't want to risk paying twice as much in November for mediocre RAM.

I'd be glad if the new sim were able to scale up from 16 GB of total shared memory on console to 64+12 GB of RAM/VRAM on PC, if that meant no pop-in, no morphing, no stuttering, etc... 

I have an AMD 7800X3D, and I have read that performance deteriorates with 4 sticks on the X3D series, I have also noted that the memory controller on AM5 boards gets heavily loaded with four sticks as well, which causes instability.
So for me it's about buying two new 32GB memory sticks and removing the cooler to be able to install them, and I'm definitely not looking forward to that.
I hope ASOBO comes up with an explanation soon as to why so much memory is needed.
