Memory stability

December 31, 2018

I was at all needs computers a while back, i was descussing about Memories i told him im going to be using a DDR4 3466 using 128 gigs of Ram, i got told i wouldn't use that going over 3200 speed on the Ram will coarse instability issues, but i seen benchmarks done with LTT did okay does that computer salesman at All needs computer even know what he is on about. Is it true does DDR4 3466 really become unstable?

It won't.

Depends on the mobo and CPU I suppose. But if they are able to handle it...then it should be fine.

For instance, first gen Ryzen CPU's usually won't be stable at that speed. My 1700x gets very unstable above 3200.

Also, just curious, what in the world are you going to use 128 Gigs of RAM for?!?!?! haha. People told me I was crazy when I put 64 Gigs into one of my systems. haha.

A very good question, see i need 128 gigs because i be using blender and i recreate rendering Minas Tirith from LOTR and install 3,000 Stormclock soldiers also another 4,000 NPCs to populate Minas Tirith and Ulhric Stormclock at the very top 210 meters 30 wall per teir, 30 more meters to the Jarls throne room, plus the catapults. Also After the challenge of building and rendering Minas Tirith after that exact replica of Rivendale from LOTR and name it Rivendale, ect. Should take me 1000s of hours.

Im going to be using 2nd Gen AMD 2950x CPU, doesn't bother me if i only go for 3200 i was obsess with 3466. Anyway happy new year

Thank you same to you, i think i run into problems with Minas Tirith is because only see little bit of the whole 210 meter high structure from the outside but the entire inside layouts of every NPC homes and not to metion all the interior passage ways and how far into the mountain, i don't think Blender is clairvoyant, it has Blam and Filmic Blender well Minas Tirith has a population of 7,000 resistance that is including 3,000 Soldiers, unless there is plan architectual Layout of each tear 7 Levels each level has 30 meter walls so the very top the guy jumped of close to 1,000 feet high, and i don't think Hollywood would hand over complete plans of Minas Tirith, Rivendale, the prancing pony, the mines of moria and Hogwarts. for me to remaster Skyrim Photorealism.
