• A:Answer The memory CORSAIR uses in this prebuilt is their Dominator RGB 4800Mhz DDR5. They use a specific sku for the prebuilt model, so you won't be able to buy two more 16GB sticks of the exact sku from them per their support. If you want to upgrade to 64GB you can gamble on putting in another Dominator RGB 32GB set with a different sku or replace the existing sticks with new ones entirely. I was able to try their 32GB Dominator RGB ram kit (16x2) and it did work in windows with 64GB but they weren't the same sku. They look the exact same and Windows recognized 64GB at 4800Mhz but one set was made by Micron and one was made by SK Hynix, all four slots were in use. For the amount they charged I didn't want to chance it so I returned them. The other option is to replace all sticks. Now this computer is using the MSI Z690-A Wifi motherboard which theoretically supports up to 6400 MHz DDR5 ram if using two slots or 4800 MHz ram if using all four slots. Corsair is using a special BIOS so I'm not 100% sure faster ram will work. For now 32GB 4800 MHz seems more than enough for gaming. I'm going to wait to see what memory speed combinations come out for DDR5 before I try different sticks. The cost is also very high small performance gains.
