Decide whether it's worth enhancing your memory capacity.
Hey peeps.. I come to this awesome community once again to ask the following... First here's link to my build --> here (or my sig) With that, is it necessary to upgrade my RAM to faster kit with lower timings? I heard so much that faster n lower timings makes Ryzen CPUs work less hard... Dunno how true that is. I am by no means a heavy gamer nor do I play competitively... I use my PC for occasional AAA titles at 1440p every now and then, but mostly to watch YouTube and do some photoshop and xml/css coding/design... Would love to know...
3600 Mhz RAM is sure to improve performance, but whether it’s worth it depends on your current setup and how much you can afford to invest. If you already have 3000, selling old drives or having enough funds will matter more than the upgrade itself. Steve made a great video explaining this.
I’m already operating in XMP 2.0 mode... Never changed RAM before... Alright, that’s fine... Unfortunately, I don’t want to sell or use that setup on another system. Still, updating RAM could work... It’s unclear exactly how to do it... Would you like me to check if there are tighter timing options available with the kit you have?
You can find instructions on the web, but avoid risky actions such as extreme voltages or frequencies; it should be safe.
Focus on latency guides, verify stability after each adjustment, and you'll be okay.
It's fair to be cautious about all that RT chatter—10 series will definitely struggle, but for us who don’t mind sacrificing quality for speed and can hit 60fps on 1440p, it’s not a necessity. Still, I’m unlikely to stick with 1080 for more than a year. By Christmas 2021 I might switch to the 3070 if I land a new job. I’ve already left my Apple Ireland role because of the crisis in Lebanon—I need to focus there first.
