Hi everyone! I'm looking for some help with my PC setup. Currently, I have 2x8GB RAM sticks, and I'd like to add two more to make it 4x8GB. I'm not very tech-savvy, so I'd love some guidance. I know that memory channels matter, but I find it hard to understand the details. Here are my components: I'm using an Intel Core i5-9600K CPU, with 16GB Ballistix Sport LT DDR4-3000MHz RAM, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER graphics card, and a Z390 AORUS PRO motherboard. Also, if adding more sticks isn't ideal, what do you think about upgrading to 2x32GB DDR4-3200MHz instead? Thanks for your time!

You can definitely add more RAM! However, mixing RAM sticks from different manufacturers can lead to compatibility issues, so it's generally better to use identical RAM sticks. If your main goal is to increase RAM to 32GB, it might be worth considering getting a new kit rather than mixing old and new sticks. Just a bit safer that way!
Got it, thanks! So, if I buy sticks with the same specs but from different brands, that might cause problems?
