Ryzen 5900X Memory Upgrade

[darkguy2]

So I am planning on finally upgrading from my 8700K to the new 5900X when it comes out next month. My question is if it makes sense to replace my existing 3000 MHz RAM (timings 16-20-20-38) with higher speed sticks or just keep my current ones? I will be gaming on my 4K 144 Hz monitor.

If you're fine with the capacity you've got, I'd say just keep your current kit. 3000MHz is fast enough.

Yeah that was what I was thinking, I am assuming at 4K it will be much more GPU bound then CPU bound. I currently have 32 GB, but if I upgraded I would just stick to 16 GB since I really have no need for 32 GB. Worst case I can always buy some down the road.

You'll be fine, there's no difference in memory support with zen2, officially 3200mhz.

So you won't be loosing that much.
