Hello, the title suggests you should pick either the 2x32GB or the 2x16GB option. You have a 32GB DDR5 RAM with 4800MHz CL40 speed and a 16GB DDR5 with 5600MHz CL36. If you need more details, just let me know and I can explain which one might be better for your needs. Thanks!
Are you requiring more than 32GB of memory or storage? Then choose the 2x32GB package. Otherwise, opt for the 5600 rated option.
It really depends on how you plan to use your system, but both options have their pros. The 2x16 RAM model offers faster speeds at 5600MHz and quicker response times, while a higher capacity like 64GB is better for demanding software such as Premiere or After Effects. If you're working with heavy projects, going with 64GB would be safer in the long term.
I don’t need to change my current build. Playing at 1440p means you’ll require a lot of storage—games like Hogwarts Legacy demand around 32GB, and soon you’ll be looking at 64GB or more.
Playing games at 1440p without upgrading RAM is possible, but it may affect performance.
Games typically require less than 16GB of RAM, so waiting decades for 64GB isn't realistic. Go with the 5600 setting—it runs smoother and should keep you going for about five years.
They're nearing a 16GB setup; the real question is whether you're ready to shut everything down before releasing a game to avoid lag and stuttering. 32GB is affordable. I prefer leaving a lot of flexibility open, even with 32GB, since it ended up being problematic. I'd rather not control every detail.
EDIT: Uncertain about the reason for restricting to slower speeds for 64GB. The device I received is 2x32GB 6000cl30. It performs extremely well at the default settings with Buildzoids adjusted timing parameters.
You’re probably dealing with a memory issue or perhaps the reporting isn’t accurate. I share your concern about leaving many applications running—currently there are 42 Chrome tabs, Steam, HWinfo, Afterburner, FanControl, and Discord open on the desktop, without exceeding 10GB of RAM usage. Windows also tends to store data in RAM, making reported usage seem negligible until you hit over 90%. For example, with 8GB used and no apps running, Windows would use only about 2GB. Limiting it to 2GB keeps performance stable but uses minimal memory. I didn’t recommend 16GB, as that’s likely unnecessary for a modern gaming rig, especially considering DDR5 efficiency. Suggesting 64GB is wasteful; you won’t use half of it, and that amount isn’t needed soon. Focus your spending on upgrading the GPU, motherboard, or CPU for better performance instead.
