Is it worth spending on RAM with high speed?
Is it worth spending on RAM with high speed?
So I'm building my very first PC and have been studying and learning a lot about all the things to consider regarding different components. I had already decided to buy little more expensive hyperX savage 3000MHz memory when I started to read about RAM speeds and motherboards running default 2133MHz without OC. So everyone is saying it's not worth OC:ing your RAM so then there is no reason to buy a faster RAM that 2133MHz? Am I right?
as i mentioned earlier, unless you're running apps that heavily use ram, the variation won't be obvious...but when you do, that gap will become clear...2133mhz without OC and 2400mhz at stock are definitely not the same...but after five years, that extra 250mhz or more might add up...look at that guide for a clearer understanding...
varies based on your needs...if you're heavily involved in multitasking and activities like video editing or mixing, higher frequency might be beneficial. Otherwise, 2133mhz should suffice. I'd suggest going with 2400mhz to maintain flexibility and future-proof your setup...check out this guide...

As I mentioned earlier, unless you're running many RAM-heavy programs, the variation won't be obvious...but when you do that, the difference will become apparent...2133mhz without OC and 2400mhz at stock definitely aren't the same...but after five years, that extra 250mhz or more might add up...look at that guide for a clearer understanding... So I read the article and I'm not entirely convinced it clearly explains why higher speeds are advantageous even with an 2133MHz support. However, I think you should consider this: if bigger is always better regardless of the supported frequency, should I push it to 3000MHz even though I'm unsure if I'll ever be able to overclock it?
what are you using...gaming or graphics-heavy multitasking?
remember, even gaming is quite demanding in terms of graphics. however, games usually require fewer threads or cores compared to applications that heavily use graphics when running in parallel—like mod studios. the more memory they consume, the better performance they get. are you into this kind of stuff?
if yes, then higher is better.
if you're just a casual gamer, 2400mhz is more than sufficient.

Just a fellow gamer 😀
