hey,
i currently have an asrock pro4/d3 z170 motherboard and have 16gb ddr3 paired with my skylake i7 6700k and i was thinking of buying 32gb of ram (x4 8gb) since the current ram i have isn't on the support list and according to a benchmark its not performing optimally also.

so would the upgrade be wise? also i have a stupid question should i get ddr3l because the skylake prefers lower voltage although my motherboard makes it compatible?

Thanks.

yes but my current ram isn't performing optimally and isn't on the support list so the question is whether i should change my ram at least?

The desire to get 16gb or 32gb is my own.
Thanks

those aren't on the support list?
Can it still work and be fine, unlike now i have sticks that are currently not performing great.

Thanks a lot i just bought them
but i think they were slightly different:
Corsair DDR3L Vengeance Pro, Red, PC3-17066 (2133)

this version is still ok though right?
