Which option you prefer?
I received a video ad for my job. I play a lot, but now I’m focusing on videos and require more memory. I currently have 16 GB of 3600 MHz RAM, but I need significantly more. I looked at this option: 3200 MHz — is it better or worse compared to what I have?
Relies heavily on your board and processor. For intense video projects, check out QVL—it’s worth the effort to avoid hidden issues or crashes.
I possess everything, and I might even include a small mini-test setup. But if it functions, which option would be superior?
It seems you're considering whether to upgrade or keep your existing setup. Let me know if you'd like advice on evaluating your needs!
They still have the box for RAM like this, isn't that a solid indication? The Ripjaws is decent, especially since I own the Ripjaws 4 instead of the 5. Speaking of the 4 series, it was the first DDR4 RAM to surpass overclocking limits—something I’m aware of. With 64 gigabytes at 160 MHz, that’s quite impressive. You could likely push the frequency up to around 400 GHz safely, which would still give you the same 3600 GHz you currently have. I’ve managed 366 GHz on my Ripjaws 4, and that’s as far as I’ve gone with tuning. I couldn’t go higher because my CPU and BIOS only supported 2400 MHz, which was a bit surprising. Before that, I achieved an 8% CPU boost and 18% RAM improvement simply by tweaking those settings.
At 2700X you’ll struggle to run four sticks smoothly. Your present setup seems optimal—check for a 32GB option.
