Check your RAM specs: 16GB at 3000MHz or 32GB at 2900MHz?
Check your RAM specs: 16GB at 3000MHz or 32GB at 2900MHz?
The issue you're facing relates to how your CPU handles different memory speeds. Using four 8GB RAM sticks at XMP 3000MHz works well, but lowering the speed to 2900MHz with XMP still gives stability. This suggests the difference lies in the actual performance gap between those frequencies. For optimal results, consider matching your RAM speeds or using a higher-speed profile. If you're unsure, sticking with XMP at 3000MHz might be safest.
No obvious variation. Keep it at 2900 unless you really don’t mind the 32 GB over 16.
Thank you for your prompt reply! I'll proceed with the 32GB option.
32GB available every day regardless of the schedule. With four sticks active, it delivers dual rank performance, matching the speed boost of 400MT/s in DDR4 timings. This setup offers both extra storage and improved speed, making 16GB unnecessary.
