Is there such as diminishing returns for RAM?

What is the optimal amount of memory for a Windows 10 I7-9700 or I9-9900k build?

Is there a point where it's pretty much a waste?

Gaming? Photo/video editing? 3D modeling?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

in terms of games, diminishing return is 16gb. the speed is

 

2400/ cas 12

2666/ cas 13

3000/ cas 15

3200/ cas 16

3600/ cas 18

4000/ cas 20 (you get the point)

 

although the divided numbers are same, 4000 cas 20 is faster than 2400 cas 12.

CPU: 8600k @4.9  (1.39v) |  Cooler: NH-U14s | Mobo: Asus Strix z390i | Ram: Gskill DDR4 Trident Z 3600 8GB x 2 16-16-16-36

GPU: Gigabyte G1 1080 GTX | Case: Prodigy ITX | Fans: NH-A14, (exhaust) NH-A12, (intake) NH-A20 (intake)

Samsung EVO 1tb | Samsung EVO 512gb x2 | Intel ssd 128gb

PSU: Powerstation 500W

Gaming really won't benefit from more than 16GB. However, 3D models can get complex enough to leverage hundreds of GB of RAM (maybe not on your average PC but still).
