Check if the RAM fits your system?
Check if the RAM fits your system?
Hello, I understand you're seeking advice on upgrading your PC. Your current setup includes a Ryzen 5 1600 processor, an XFX R9 270X GPU, and a Sapphire Rx 570 nitro that's no longer functioning. You're considering adding more RAM, specifically looking into a 16GB kit priced at 3000MHz. The Gigabyte website mentions compatibility with up to 3200MHz, but it also notes your model only supports 2933MHz. Given your budget and shipping concerns, you might want to explore whether the 2400MHz option is a better fit or if the 16GB kit could work with your current configuration. It's wise to verify compatibility before purchasing.
I chose the 3200MHz because the AMD CPUs are very responsive to RAM compatibility.
Recent bios updates could boost available RAM performance. If your system doesn’t respond with a 3200, you might adjust it to 2933 and lower the cas height to regain some speed. This seems to be the usual approach.
