Want to upgrade my PC, but is considering to upgrade/change RAM first. Reason to upgrade RAM cos I game with chrome and other apps open and the upon checking task manager, the memory is taking 60%-65% most of the time and my PC freezes sometimes.

Few questions to ask:
  1. Should I add on to my current RAM or buy other RAM? E.g. Buy 2x8GB same brand and same speed.
  2. If I were to buy other RAM, will G.Skill Trident Z Neo 3600Mhz CL14 cause any error for my intel build as it is optimised for AMD build?
  3. Any other RAMs to recommend? Budget around $400. (Was told that CL14 is better than CL16 & CL18 so would prefer to have CL14/CL16. Please also recommend where to get it, thanks)
Thanks all in advance for guiding me. :giggle:

Current system build:
MOBO - ASUS ROG STRIX Z490-F Gaming
CPU - Intel® Core i7-10700K
GPU - ZOTAC RTX 2060 SUPER 8GB OC
RAM - 16GB Klevv BOLT X 3200 Mhz CL16 (2x8GB)
SSD - 512GB M.2 NVME SSD
HDD - 1TB TOSHIBA
PSU - 600W FSP/EVGA 80+ Certified PSU
Wrong forum. Should post in hardware clinic instead.
But anyway since you're on 3200mhz CL16 then that's what you should get. It will always follow the clock speed and latency of your slowest ram.
