So I am planning to upgrade my RAM, from 16gb to 32gb. Forza Horizon 5 will be requiring all of those 16gb and I want my PC to have some room to spare in the RAM department.

I currently have 8gb(2x)GSkill Trident Z 3000mhz and adding the exact same model and frequency.

My question is, I do have an overclock in my CPU. Will this affect it, or make it unstable? Or is this just plug-and-play, given that I'm using the exact same RAM modules?

Thank you.
 
I'm not sure, but I think it should be plug and play. The one thing I read is that if you are at a 1T command rate, you will most likely have to change it to 2T for the RAM settings when running more than 2 sticks. RAM is running at stock values, correct?

Yes, it's stock. Haven't overclocked it. Only the CPU.

It should be fine. You could run memtest86 or similar to make sure the memory is stable at whatever settings it'll run at.
