Hey everyone! I just built a new PC featuring a 9800X3D CPU, a Gigabyte B850M Gaming X WiFi6E motherboard, and 4x16GB Ripjaws S5 RAM running at 6000MHz with an XMP profile. So far, I've played games like Star Citizen and Warframe without any major problems. However, I've been reading that using 4 RAM sticks might not be the best choice due to potential stability issues. I'm considering returning the 4x16GB sticks and getting 2x32GB instead. What do you think? Is it worth making the switch? Thanks for your help!

If your system is running well with the 4 sticks at 6000MHz, I'd say keep them! You've got a good setup, and it sounds like you've gotten lucky with stability so far.
If everything is working fine, there's no need to change. Just keep an eye on it, and if any instability pops up, then think about swapping them out.
Yeah, recent AM5 updates have improved the compatibility for using 4 sticks, so you might be in a good spot!
