adding ram

[ehr1]

Hello. I just purchased an OMEN 16L Gaming PC and it only came with one stick of 16GB DDR5 5600mhz.

I want to upgrade it to a 32GB by adding 16 GB from the same brand but its 6000mhz Ii want to know if it will work together

Thanks for any insight.

It should work, but for the best stability and predictable dual-channel performance, buy another DDR5-5600 MHz stick with the same specifications.

You do not necessarily need the same brand, but the new stick should match the original as closely as possible: same capacity (16 GB), frequency (5600 MHz), CL/timings, voltage, and profile. Also install both sticks in the correct paired dual-channel slots, as shown in the motherboard/service manual.

You can buy the 6000 MHz stick only if you can return it easily, since it will likely downclock to 5600 MHz and may occasionally cause compatibility or stability issues with the existing 5600 MHz stick.
