Is overclocking 32GB of RAM noticeably harder than 16GB?

Yes, 32GB is noticeably trickier to overclock because it usually means more physical memory chips, which puts more electrical load on the CPU’s memory controller, making it harder to hit high frequencies or tight timings. For example, the same kit might hit DDR5-6000 on 2x16GB but struggle at DDR5-5600 on 2x32GB. Unless you actually need 32GB, overclocking is smoother with 16GB.
