Setting up a fresh RAM module
Setting up a fresh RAM module
Hello guys, currently this is my setup: I5 8600k Asus z370 G-wifi Patriot VIPER LED 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200 () My usage was only for gaming but turns out I need to work now on my PC and I need more than 16GBs.. So I was thinking to buy another 16GB kit from the same model but I can't find another one in my country. So my question is: installing a new kit let's say same model, will decrease any fps in game? I've read that quad channel is worse for some games.. I believe this MB doesn't even support quad channel but u guys can help me even more.. And most important question, if I can't find it at all the same model, can I just put any other model and maybe even different mhz? Thanks a lot!
In DDR4 systems, RAM no longer needs to match the processor speed
Since RAM prices are currently quite favorable, I considered purchasing a 4000Mhz system. I'm curious about the setup process and how it would enhance gaming performance compared to 3200 or 4000Mhz configurations.
Are you asking about a 4000Mhz 2x16GB configuration or a 4000Mhz 2x8GB one to upgrade your existing setup? If it's the latter, the RAM will operate at the lower speed of the two options—or you might be able to overclock the 3200Mhz RAM slightly, but not push it to 4000Mhz. Keep in mind that performance also depends on latency, as a higher clock speed doesn't always mean better results if the delays are too high.
