noob question here, but I recently bought new RAM to see if it helps with a BSOD I have been getting just recently after about 4-5 years. I bought the same RAM but it is slightly faster than the currently installed ram. 3200 CL16 vs 3600 CL19…
I have two sticks (32gb) of g.skill trident z royal from 2021 and another two sticks (32gb) of the same ram from 2024.
older set is 3200MHz and the newer set is 3600MHz. timings are a bit different too.
I want to run all 4 sticks if possible. my CPU is: AMD 5800X running at 3800MHz @ 1.480 V
| old set:
F4-3200C16D-32GTRS
DDR4- 3200 CL16 18 18 38 – 1.35v
| newer set:
F4-3600C19D-32GTRS
DDR4- 3600 CL19 20 20 40 – 1.35v

The speed of your RAM will end up being set at the slowest of the two sets.
On top of that, the memory controller on the CPU may not handle all four slots at high speeds, so you’d have to set the speeds as fast as it can accept anyway.
