You managed to get me laughing again. Even my closest friend struggles to make me smile. My understanding of how RAM speed impacts games is still tied to DDR3. I’m curious if DDR4 works differently in the CPU, perhaps with a distinct speed configuration.

This applies only in extremely specific scenarios, and the video clearly demonstrates a real difference. Generally this isn't accurate. It mainly matters when the system is heavily CPU-intensive and also depends on the number of variables. If you have a Titan XP with a 7700k, the best improvement is faster RAM; otherwise, it doesn't really help. For regular users, this isn't the case. Edit: some people mentioned frame times, which could be more important, but we should conduct deeper and more thorough tests. All current evaluations seem biased or lack proper methodology.

That's great! I was still using DDR3 when you mentioned it. I'm excited about the upcoming upgrade to DDR4. Having that 3000MHz clock speed is really important for performance.

I recently purchased an 8x8GB DDR4 2400MHz kit and went overclocking it to 2666MHz. I experimented with voltage and timing adjustments. It's fast enough for my needs, and I prefer quantity over speed for my applications.

And I wonder if you really saw any improvement after boosting the RAM speed? For games and basic software, it wouldn't make much difference. Fast RAM would only be useful if you're constantly working on projects, and even then the gains would be small. Back to the original comment: look for more affordable RAM—they're all quick enough already.

I didn't see any improvement. I'm just someone who loves pushing components to their limits. It's like asking, "Hey, how much can I crank it further..."

I understand that in about 95% of situations, individuals are boosting performance to match benchmarks scores. This is mainly driven by the desire for better results, not necessarily for everyday efficiency.

If you combine a CL16 with a CL15, it may not function properly since the system is designed for specific channel configurations. The CL16 and CL15 are not compatible in this setup. Thank you.

5 years later.. nice! it might work, or you might have problems. Tough to say until you plug it in. It’s best to buy a matching pair.
