bflo Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Are memory kits matched? If I wanted 64gb, but couldn't find any in a kit, would two 32gb kits work just as well, as long there the same of course ?

Same brand, speed, and timing? Then should be okay. Matching means they're checked to be same speed and timing. 1 Better Smoke - Better Trees Caucasus - Better Trees Syria - Better Trees Mariana - Clear Canopy Glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bflo Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Thanks, just gets a little confusing when you can't get the kit you want for a particular MB. I9 13900K 32gb DDR5 RTX 4090 Win 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tothesky Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 You are on the right track but here is what you want to live by. Start with the Manufacture and the boards support website. lets say ASUS. They will have a qualified vendor list of ram and the kits of memory that they tested with the board. Isn't that great! You will see the part numbers of the KITS / HOW THEY CAN BE INSTALLED / HOW A KIT WORKS WITH THE BOARD. So by starting with the Motherboard List from ASUS, I can pick a kit that will work with my board without problems. Your answer is on the Manufactures support page. If I stay with a brand of motherboard like ASUS and a brand of memory like Corsair then things will be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
