Hey, just checking in. My Corsair Vengeance LPX is running at 3200Mhz, but I saw some articles suggesting it might actually run around 2133Mhz if we just connect it straight away. Is that accurate? Should I overclock to 3200Mhz or stick with the lower speed? Are there big performance gains? Could it wear out my RAM faster? Might it affect the motherboard’s RAM slots? Will overheating be an issue? Or is the 2133Mhz enough? Thanks for the advice!
With a Ryzen processor, the investment is definitely worthwhile. Intel also offers value, though less so. You only need to open the BIOS for two steps to confirm.
Remaining at 2133 causes a general drop in performance; memory-intensive jobs run more slowly. Open the BIOS and set the XMP option. The adjustment process lasts about two seconds.
