RAM and Motherboard Specifications
RAM and Motherboard Specifications
I just joined mods without knowing where to share this. I’m looking into getting 128 GB of RAM, but PCPartPicker said it wouldn’t work because my motherboard has too many slots. Anyone have recommendations on which board to choose? It needs eight slots. I was planning the ASUS ROG Strix X570-E but now I need something around £400/$520.
You must obtain 32GB dimms (four 32GB units =128GB) since the ASUS ROG Strix X570-E provides only four RAM slots for dimming. If you require eight slots, consider Intel HEDT or AMD Threadripper options for dual-channel support.
You require 128 gigabytes of RAM. A 16 gigabyte setup is sufficient for gaming. At a workload of 32 gigabytes, it will still be adequate. For modeling tasks, 64 gigabytes is enough.
You might require additional time before it's available, as many games fill up quickly.
Warzone One indeed requires a significant amount of memory—around 14 gigabytes, which is more than enough for most systems. It’s also worth noting that using an AM4 socket adds extra complexity.
MS Flight sim performs well on systems with over 16GB, though warzone may struggle (text suggests no compressed textures are used).
You'd have to install four 32GB modules to reach a total of 128GB on today's consumer hardware, which typically supports dual-channel memory rather than the quad-channel found on high-end platforms like the X299 and TRX40. What scenario justifies this upgrade? Modern Warfare handles well with 16GB, and MSFS2020 is the only title that genuinely needs more than 16GB of RAM (excluding heavily modified versions of Skyrim or similar games).
It's odd you shared this here under the storage category instead of the relevant hardware sections. Let's make sure it goes where it belongs!
Having 128GB of RAM dedicated to video games is an unnecessary expense that could be better allocated to other components like the graphics card or power supply.
