Posted May 11, 2020 Hello All, As promised, I am now looking to upgrade my RAM. I am looking to increase the speed of my RAM in a Hope to increase performance. (If it makes much of an effect at all) I Currently have G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory. I am looking for at least 16gb of RAM, must be DDR4 and be either RED or BLACK, or RGB. Clearance is not an issue as I am using watercooling. Rest of my PC Specs are below should anyone require them. Budget for this is roughly £100-£120. Amazon preferred as always but open to anywhere! All Suggestions are welcome!

(If it makes much of an effect at all) Depends on what you are doing, but in gaming, I believe it's only a few FPS (there are videos on YT demonstrating the effects) and in non-gaming, I doubt you'd notice the effect NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 12, 2020 Author @Tristerin @Radium_Angel Thank you both for the advice I will take a look at some videos now. If it doesn’t make much of a difference then what is the point in spending money on upgrading RAM speed at all? Why not everyone just buy the cheaper 2400mhz stuff?

Same reason people by a Mercedes Benz over a toyota. Status. Bragging Rights. "Gamer" has the same connotation on computer gear, that "audiophile" has on sound gear, with price tags to match.

What about the whole thing with AMD CPU's needing higher frequency Memory to function to their full potential?

Sure, match the RAM speed to requirements, anything beyond that is not utilized NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.
