I constructed my initial PC during the summer of the previous year, which limited my familiarity with computer components. My previous machine used DDR4 memory with a 3200MHz clock speed, so I assumed a 6400MHz rate would be quick. After reading many discussions on Twitter, I realized most enthusiasts for competitive gaming consider anything under 7000MHz to be slow. I planned to upgrade my RAM to something faster. The best option I found for two 32GB modules was 6600MHz, but I only use 64GB for non-gaming intensive work. Should I replace my current RAM with 2x16GB during gaming sessions and swap it back afterward, or is there a future upgrade to 2x32GB? I’ve also learned that you should only remove and install CPU components from a motherboard a maximum of ten times, and what are the limits for RAM?

Avoid expecting significant improvements in FPS. It largely depends on the system you're using. You might also consider upgrading your hardware for better performance.

In my view, anything above 6000 MHz with a solid CL works well... unless you have a huge budget, in which case 7000+ memory might not be feasible. It really depends on your CPU; sometimes it won’t even reach 7000+ MHz.

You’ll see a modest increase in frames per second thanks to quicker RAM, possibly around a 7% boost. If you’re already running on 200 or more, adding 64GB won’t be a major concern.

Future releases may offer quicker 32GBx2 configurations, while current stock options are capped at 6600MHz.
