    Hi Guys,

    I think I am going to upgrade my ram to 16gb from 8.

    Currently I have corsair dominator platinum 2133 (2x4gb)

    My question -

    Should I buy 2 x 8gb - if so which is better lower timings or higher speed.

    if I just add 2 x 4gb which memory should I go for, I cannot find another set of 2133 dom plat in the uk, so should I go for a 2400mhz set and run it on tighter timings, or match it with another 2133 and get timings as close as poss?

    Thanks

    **Edit oh and im pretty much only gaming

    You would have to match all timings, and compatibility may be an issue. It may also limit overclocking. Having 2x8 GB would be a 'safer' option.
