I have 32GB of DDR4-3200 and I'm glad because I got it for literally HALF the price of similar DDR3-3600. I always say that it's better to have more RAM than faster RAM.
I'm looking for RAM and couple questions have come up for me
1. Is Vengeamce RGB Pro (can be SL) good (particularly for i5 12400F build)?
2. I haven't seen reviews about T-Force Delta RGB. Is that good?
3. If I had to choose between these which one would be better (for i5 12400F)?
4. If there is any other under 80€ RAM that performs as well or better then I'd love to know.
Who gets rams for fps smh haha not what i get them for i get them for registration speed to server
He's like Linus…from the UK
shows 1080p when everyone games at 1440 or 4k 🙁
Lenovo Ideacentre (AMD RX570 4gb).
Just upgraded the RAM from stock 2x4gb to 2x8gb Corsair LPX (2400mhz) to run MW2 as smooth as possible. The system runs so much faster and smoother in general now.
MW2 ultra pre-settings from 50fps to a steady 70/75fps (no overclocking)
I find hard to like you because you look too much kept inside the youtube thing. Like a huge desperation. the video data miss the cas latency, so what's the point of it all?
probably a bigger difference if you ran low settings at 1080p
I think with AMD systems you will see even bigger increases between ram speeds?
POV you have 32gb of ddr5 5600 memory🕺
Just saying. It boot cycles because you need to set the memory clocks to half of what it shows in the BIOS if you are doing it manually.
If you run on an AMD CPU you also need to set the infinity fabric memory to the same clock as the memory clock.
Usually when you set the memory clock to 3200Mhz the actual ram speed you would put in the BIOS is 1600Mhz
For 3600Mhz it would be 1800Mhz and so on.
Question, right now my pc is using 2 2400mhz ram sticks and the motherboard only supports up to 2133mhz, but when I check the speed of my ram at the task manager it says that my ram speed is 2400mhz, does this mean my pc is using 2400mhz ram speed?
Sorry for being a noob for asking this but does it even matter if all I do is play at 1080p 60fps locked? Because, like you said, it only matters if the game is CPU bound which is usually the case if one is planning to play at a higher fps.
I have 8×2 3200mhz but they run 2600mhz can i change it ?
Here I am wondering if I could game on 1333Mhz ram
Fortnite lags alot in endgame even in arena without many people. I have Vega 56 and ryzen 5600x. I feel that the problem might be the ram of 16gb 3000 MHz. If some1 advice me I would appreciate
ram (speed) is scam… Would you be able to tell the difference of 142 fps from 135 fps? Good luck to DDR5 and DDR6 in 2026.. LOL
How about with laptop?
Should I enable XMP?
My ram speeds will be at 4000 enabled.
I read online that my CPU – i9-10900K only supports Memory Types DDR4-2933. Will this cause instability.
I have 2666 mhz with a i7 9700k z390 wit 3060 ti idk if a 3200mhz is worth it to change. Saw the video i will stick wit my rams for now
Why do u look like the stereotype of a soy boy?
so what should we buy then 3600 or 3200?
Pc centric I’m planning on buying 16gb crucial ballistix 3200mhz cl16 or patriot viper black out cl18 3600mhz for 12700k what do you think???
From where i can get that wallpaper BTW?
I have a 3080ti paired with 5950x with 4×8 4000mhz corsair ven with huge stutter.. my cpu won’t support xmp default since it only supports up to 3200mhz ram. Should i change ram speed to 3200mhz after turning on xmp? Or do I have to change the ram timings manually?
