Thanks for the info and sorry to hear.

That’s the best analogy I’ve had TechyBen! Thanks so much, I can go with confidence now on this info and I’ll be careful to check CPU support on Motherboards for my gaming rig journey ??

Brill! Thanks very much

Really appreciated and thank you ???

Thanks very much ??

Hi all! I’m new to here and also a novice when it comes to computing, so please go easy on me I watch a lot of LinusTechTips videos on YouTube to understand all types of computers, how they work etc and in particular gaming computers. While I’m new to all this and finding it really fascinating, I have a question as per the subject field, because I want to custom build my own gaming pc someday very soon. Could I please know if it’s better to have a higher frequency RAM, like 3000MHz when a CPU frequency is rated at like 2666MHz? Or should they be the same (CPU at 2666MHz & RAM at 3000MHz)? Your advice would be greatly appreciated along with any explanation of how there might be compatibility issues or performance benefits. Many thanks Dave
