My recall seems to be slowing down your computer.
Hey there! I noticed your PC seems to be having some trouble lately. As a freelance game developer working with Unreal Engine, you're pushing your system to its limits. I see the RAM usage spikes while you're working and watching videos, which is pretty unusual. Your specs mention 64GB originally, but now you're down to 32GB after moving some RAM. You mentioned the lower-speed sticks were swapped for higher speeds, but it sounds like you're still experiencing performance issues. Regarding the upgrade, your B760 TOMAHAWK RAM supports the higher speeds you're considering, so it could definitely help. Just make sure to test it properly and monitor the stability before committing. Let me know if you need more guidance! Thanks in advance!
Higher than 3200 brings limited gains even with heavy RAM use, so skip it. Opt for two 32GB modules at 3200—affordable and effective compared to the 5333. For a bigger challenge, consider 3600C16 with verified Samsung B-Die, Micron E-Die or SK Hynix CJR suppliers. Push the RAM further until your CPU IMC fails.
No 4 sticks of ram is just REALLY hard to run at full speed. So to even work they will downclock to a much lower speed. No as thats SUPER expensive qnd theres no way its ever going to run at that speed. Just no chance. Also theres barely a percormance difference between a decent 3600 kit and some stupid high speed kits. Also try to buy one kit if you HAVE to buy 4 sricks
Thanks for your feedback! Your questions are clear. Based on your current setup, would you prefer to purchase another set of 4x16GB 3200MHz RAM or explore alternative options?
Another storage option is a divided Seagate IronWolf Pro with 8TB capacity
When using XMP, always purchase a kit to ensure compatibility because generic XMPS models like 3200C16/3600C18 don’t support it. For non-XMP devices, buy a specific part number to lock in the IC requirements. You can run 2 or 4 sticks based on your frequency goals—2 sticks for pushing 5200+ in G2, and 4 sticks for 4000-4300G1. If you’re unsure about RAM tuning, it’s best to get a standard 3200C16/3600C18 2x32 XMP and stop. Running at 5000+G2 usually needs a fan over the RAM and pushing it to its limits, which is common for 64GB with 16Gb/s speeds. These speeds are also quite unstable and can be frustrating to fine-tune, especially near CPU/MBA/IMC limits. Getting there is straightforward, but stabilizing those speeds is the real challenge.
These DDR4 RAM limit-pushing lines are intense, struggling to keep up. They’re hard to control.
