Hey there! I'm looking for some advice on whether it's safe and stable to upgrade my computer's RAM. Here are my specs: I'm using an ASRock B760m PG Riptide WiFi motherboard with an Intel i5-13600k CPU. Currently, I have TEAMGROUP T-Create Expert 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 RAM in the 2nd and 4th slots. I'm planning to add two more identical sticks into the 1st and 3rd slots. My CPU runs at 5.1GHz, and my memory is set to 6000MT/s with XMP enabled. If I add these extra two sticks, what should I expect? Will my RAM speed stay the same, will the profile have to change, and most importantly, will the system remain stable? Can my CPU actually handle 64GB of RAM? Thanks a lot for any insights!

You might not be able to maintain that 6000MT/s speed after adding more RAM. It's common for systems to drop down to around 5200MT/s or even 4800MT/s, as the memory controller can only handle so much. You'll need to test it to see exactly how your system reacts, as every setup can be different.
Just to echo the first point, running all four sticks at 6000 might lead to instability or even crashes. It's usually due to the motherboard or RAM limitations rather than the CPU itself. So, if you're adding new sticks, keep an eye on how it performs and be ready to tweak those settings!
