Hey everyone! I currently have 2x16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6000MHz CAS 30 RAM sticks in my PC, which has a 9900X processor and a Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX V2 motherboard. I'm considering adding another 2 sticks, but I've read about some potential issues with using four sticks in a quad channel setup. Will it work without problems? Thanks in advance for your help!

You’re not technically using quad channel; you're just running four DIMMs in dual channel. That said, if you're doing intensive tasks like 4K video editing or 3D modeling, the extra RAM could help, but it might lower the speeds a bit. Just think about whether you genuinely need over 32GB for your projects!
Make sure to check your memory controller. If it supports four channels, you should be good to go. Just be aware that using all four slots can increase the workload on the controller, which might affect your speeds over time.
Running more than 2 sticks at 6000MHz can be tricky. Your chances of maintaining that speed with four sticks aren't very high, so keep that in mind before you upgrade.
