Question about RAM

Audiogon internet Security at its best!

Well done.

rel is correct and the topic is not in the scope of the AudiogoN guidelines. The topic belongs in a computer forum.

I'm building a low-mid tier gaming PC, and one of the components I purchased is "Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory".

I'm still waiting on other parts, but this came in the mail, and when I checked it out, it was 2 separate sticks, that each say "16GB(2x8GB)" on the label. Did I accidentally buy 32gb of ram, or is each stick 8gb, and they're just labeled confusingly because they're meant to be installed together

?

I got this,...

Just so you know, @ferb0 is a bot 🤖, so you might not want to invest a whole lotta energy on this thread.

You got two 8 gig modules. For a mid-tier gaming, that amount of RAM (and the CL18 level) is fine. If you play online against other players, going to 32gig and CL16 will make a small, but noticeable difference, but only if you're bandwidth is up to snuff. Offline playing will make little to no difference. 

Enjoy!

Though 32 gig would be even better.

My guess is there are two modules.  Each module is 8GB.  Total is 16GB (2x8GB)
