Question about Ram
Question about Ram
DDR5 is scheduled for release next year, initially targeting enterprise applications. If you're prepared to invest around $50,000 for a new setup at that time, proceed confidently. Otherwise, expect another year before it reaches enthusiast models and yet another before it becomes mainstream. As mentioned earlier, no such options exist. Higher speeds are reserved for lower-end configurations. If you're okay with 64GB—something even demanding tasks like graphic design or video editing would struggle with—you'll see a noticeable boost, though not if you require greater capacity.
Select RAM for Ryzen is straightforward—opt for a 3600 or 3733 package with the fastest possible timings you can budget for. Use a 1:1 dram-infinity fabric clock setting. A 3600 CL16 or 3733 CL17 should suffice.
I don’t have specific recommendations to link directly, but you might find helpful resources on reputable websites or platforms.
Another option is near the top of the best available RAM, though it’s not in stock.
Alternative choices are closer to the earlier model but still functional.
For a budget-friendly pick, this version is a bit cheaper.
If you prefer a more comparable setup, expect a slight difference from the last one.
I’m excited about this option. I’ll likely go with it unless I can find a better one in stock. I’m okay with the price difference. I think I’ll resell the kit once DDR5 becomes available for consumers. How much performance gain do you expect from gaming and workstation tasks? You mentioned these parts are ideal for overclocking since they don’t require extra voltage. That makes sense for me since I’m planning to overclock my whole build.
Relies on the particular programs and workload involved. Results can range from a significant improvement to minimal gains. This isn't solely due to reduced voltage, though that factor plays a role. Higher-quality chips tend to manage higher voltages more efficiently and operate cooler. Overclocking becomes more reliable too. The design also benefits from superior PCB construction for better chip attachment.
He reviewed the Nexus video and mentioned it relies on the BIOS on the motherboard for timing once XMP is enabled. It seems the chosen board should support your goals. Should I check if the recommended kit is back in stock or stick with the available mid-range option? Updated December 14, 2020 by JayR
Could a 3200 MHz setup with reduced Cas and timings outperform the 3600 MHz model? Only if they offer a minimum of 64 GB storage. Otherwise, ignore this question.
