Upgrade memory for aging x99 configuration
Considering whether your setup will remain effective through the upcoming tax season is worth checking. If the new AMD flagship GPU performs well now, you might upgrade later if it meets your needs. Currently, your system supports up to 2400MHz RAM, though the memory stock is at 2133MHz. The website suggests using kits with over 3000MHz RAM, which could be beneficial for gaming and light video editing. Your current specs include a 5960X OC to 4.5GHz processor, 1.35V core, 4GB DDR4, and a Seagate Barracuda Pro in RAID 5 with 10TB storage. You’re open to further upgrades based on performance and requirements.
300MHz isn't expected to boost performance significantly, yet ensuring compatibility with a Ryzen flagship makes sense.
I used to browse gigabyes for my Ryzen 2400G system with 2800MHz RAM, but the XMP settings aren't working. The official guide says the maximum is 3000MHz RAM.
