RGB Ram that was hovering around the $400 mark a few days ago.
Timing 30-36-36-76
CamelCamelCamel.
Higher ghz + lower timings = best, most ram is basically very similar though at most levels
Higher GB usually means worse ghz+timings
You generally want less sticks in the system so 2x is better than 4x for reliability, points of failure and total speed.
Also most times the base speed is slower and you need to activate XMP profiles (may be called something else now) in the systems BIOS to "activate" the advertised speed.
As for DDR4 or 5, that depends what your motherboard can handle (google it, use a program like speccy if you do no know your motherboard model or look at the printed words on the board itself).
DIMM is Desktop SO-DIMM is laptop.
More of a crash course than a 101.
anyone feel free to correct me, I probably got something wrong.
Thank you professor! Such an informative session!
I was looking for a 64GB kit. Is this the best timing available for AMD platform now?
I'd say so. I bought 2x32gb kits 6600 CL36 but in white rgb for a similar price but I'll probably downclock it to 6000 CL30 anyway. For somr reason white RGB DDR5 is priced at a premium so this is a good price for black.
Why would you downclock it? Isn't higher MHz better? I'd try to overclock it to 7000 if anything. But I don't really know much about it.
Most AMD motherboards dont support anything more than 6000 on AM5. Particularly with 4 sticks when things get even more tricky. Luckily i was able to get 4x6000 CL36 working
Depends on mobo compatibility.
Apparently this kit doesn’t work on my motherboards EXPO profile so I had to get the G.skill one.
went through 3 sets of RAM with Amazon before I found one that works
Intel xmp ?
Same price from prime day onward, has been sitting in my cart for the last two weeks, I think it can drop further so I wait…
Only worth it if you want the RGB.
Can anyone please kindly do a RAM101?
