These are JEDEC bins, specifically a 5600C46. If you find bare PCB kits or chips like Klevvs or Hynixes, they’ll likely run above 8000 due to the Hynix die, meaning you’re using a kit that will crush any standard XMP setup. The performance hinges on timing and frequency—higher frequencies mean lower latency. You probably won’t match XMP unless you adjust things. Just share a photo of the RAM label and its description on the black ICS, and it’ll give you a clear idea of its capabilities.
It's not just about the specs; both options matter. You got RAM that matches a DDR4 2400MHz C20, which is decent but still slow. It works fine, though you'll notice a drop in speed. There’s potential for improvement, especially if you have extra chip memory available. What kind of RAM are you talking about?
