I am going to upgrade my 8gb desktop pc.
I have 2 free slots and 2 slots with 2x4gb 2400Mhz.
I will buy 2x8gb with 3600 MHz.
Should I put them together and have 24gb at 2400Mhz or should I remove the 2x4 in favor of the 3600Mhz.
I'm asking because I read that when you have 2 different ram speeds it will default to the lower one.
Edit: it's for gaming and I have a Ryzen 3 1200 with a b350m as a motherboard
Yeah, even the better boards struggled to break 3,000MT/s with Zen 1. They sure were fun to play with, though, one of the last times I felt like tinkering was actually getting me something.
I’d be curious how the more modern “default” 3600 kits do, I didn’t have a Ryzen system by the time they were popular and cheap.

I'm 99% sure his 350 board and processor don't support 3,600 anyhow. My ryzen 5 and 350 board doesn't.
