Hi everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my RAM (8GB). The issue is that a bunch of modules similar to mine (F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR) are selling for 70€.
Question: for gaming (X-Plane and P3D in particular) having a good memory for OC is necessary?
My rig:
4670K@4300
F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR@2200 CAS11
GTX 1070
Thank you very much!

Makentox :
Tell me how many sticks you have. If you only have one 8GB stick, it makes sense to upgrade, because two sticks allow dual-channel RAM for better performance. I currently have two sticks. Just look at your RAM usage—if it's nearing 8GB, consider upgrading or it won't be very useful in my opinion.

How many sticks do you possess? If you're using just single 8GB units, upgrading would be beneficial, since two sticks enable dual-channel usage for improved performance.
