Oh, if you're replacing the sticks, then that's even better. You don't have to worry about system instability. You just have to worry about whether your computer can handle the configuration. What motherboard do you have? If you're on Windows 10, your computer should be able to handle up to 128 GB of RAM. It's up to your motherboard at that point to determine whether you can handle the speed that you bought. You really should find out what motherboard you have and whether it can support the memory profile. Otherwise it's just going to run at base clock speeds, and you're leaving a lot of performance on the table unless you specifically tune the kit yourself.

I'd also recommend 2 32GB sticks as opposed to 1 64GB stick, so you can take advantage of dual channel memory configurations.

Got it. According to the specifications summary.

Just curious, why 64GB of RAM? I understand if you're video editing, but if you're just gaming, that's a lot of overkill.

@bluezero Probably a dumb reason to a lot of people, but I'm super, super huge into modding Skyrim. And the kind of graphics mods I install will pretty often cause the game to chug. I've heard time and time again, people say that when modding Skyrim, it's more dependent on your RAM than anything else, so long as the rest of your PC is up to par, which mine definitely is. So I wanna make the upgrade. It's one of my main hobbies right now, so it's worth it to me.
