Recommandation de mémoire : 2x16 Go, 3200 MHz ou 3600 MHz
Hello, 1. Currently i'm running a 6700k with an Asus Z170 motherboard and 2x8gb 3200mhz ram memory. I think cl16 if I remember correctly (whatever that means). 2. I've noticed my PC becomes a little slow with some of my tasks and I upgrade every 5 to 6 years anyway so in a few weeks or months i'm planning on upgrading. 3. I want to build a 12700K with an MSI or Asus Pro Z690 motherboard. I choose this motherboard type because I will be needing 3jacks for my 5.1 surround sound and not all socket1700 boards have this anymore. However now the real question: as I still have a few weeks/months before getting the CPU and motherboard I thought I could order the ram already so I can enjoy it a little in my old rig. It's also because now I can get a good deal for this memory so I save a few bucks and it's better in my case to spread the purchases out a little anyway. Is this smart or should you always buy cpu, memory and motherboard in 1go? Or can you order ram to enjoy in your old rig and only upgrade few months later? However I cannot decide between Corsair Vengeance 2x16gb (32gb) either 3200MHZ and 3600MHZ. There is also 3 different versions - RS - RT - SL What is the difference between these 3 and would you recommand 3200mhz or 3600mhz? Personally I feel like 3600mhz, because number is higher but yeah obviously this might not be best bet. I really dont know. Thanks alot for the help explaining me about this memory pickle.
Corsair Vengeance usually ships with SK hynix. The RT model is built for AMD systems, so the RS series is recommended. You can't predict how each memory will perform on either setup, but the 12700K should handle overclocking much better than the 6700K. With the 6700K, daily speeds might be around 2667mhz, though that's uncertain. It's been a while using this platform. The 12700K is expected to reach 3600mhz.
The comparison depends on your needs—higher frequency offers better speed but may increase latency. Cost is a factor too; a $30 difference might not justify it unless you need the performance.
Usually not justified by an additional $30. It offers just a 200MHz timing gap and a 1-2% performance variation when tested logically.
You won’t notice a noticeable frame rate difference between 3200 and 3600 at any current high-end latency, making the value of performance clear. I got caught up in the excitement with my AMD processor and moved from a 16 GB 3200 CL18 to a 32 GB 3600 CL14. Despite not seeing any FPS improvement, my RAM is now all white and every slot is filled—exactly what I was aiming for.
I'm not sure, but I thought it was more likely to encounter issues with four sticks... particularly now. AMD Ryzen/AM4 might be the case, especially with recent Intel models... though I shouldn't quote anyone.
No matter your choice between 3200mhz or 3600mhz, aim for the lowest available CAS latency for that frequency. A high-CAS paired with 3600mhz may not outperform a low-CAS 3200mhz. 2x16 configuration is preferable to 4x8 in cost and compatibility—Intel and AMD desktops only support dual-channel memory, so using four sticks won’t help much. If you locate a 3600mhz 2x16 running at 14 or 15 CAS out of the box, it’s likely ideal, just confirm your motherboard supports it. You might also consider going higher than 3600mhz, but verify motherboard support and keep CAS latency in mind as important as speed.
