ddr4 ram upgrade (now 2x 8gb) for my Omen 40l

[danpf]

Hello everyone 8 ) i could use some help here...

this is what should be on board now : HyperX 16 GB DDR4-3733 MHz XMP RGB Heatsink RAM (2 x 8 GB)

i want it to be at least 32 gb ( i got 2 free sockets)

the question is what makes more sense:

1. just add 2 new of the old ones (only found on ebay for 55€)

or

2. buy all new, maybe different, maybe better, maybe cheaper ?

hey Irwin6, thank you for your assistance.

somehow i knew that both ways will work but :

" the question is what makes more sense "

in terms of speed, performance, durability, power consumption, future upgrades, etc. ...

my guess would be that adding older parts (1) would not have the same effect as if i

(2) switch to modern parts.

what would be your recommendation, your choice for yourself ?

thanks a lot for your time and effort !

Hi @danpf,

I would suggest you to go with adding 2 new of the similar kind installed on your device as it will work in the best possible way and you don't have to waste the other 2 by removing them for no reason.
