the 30L has to 2x 8gb sticks installed but has slots available for 2 more.  board is @3200mhz.  ive read that adding to more sticks knocks the clock speed back to 2600mhz.  is this true and if so why?

hi

it's true yes and no..
If you already have two memory modules in place, you must add two identical modules
So sometimes if the modules are different, not supported by the motherboard, there is a conflict, and the modules don't run at the right speed
