RAM

[Roy B]

Hi guys, I bought a PC recently which came with this stick of RAM:

Now, I checked on CMD and found out that my PC supports up to 64GB of RAM (As i said i have installed 1 stick of 16 GB).

 

My question is, what RAM sticks should I buy? (should i sell what i have now and buy 2-4 sticks?)

Lets say i replace what i have, what speed my PC supports? from CPU-Z i see speed of 1333MHz but from task manager->performence i see this value of 2667MHz

This is my motherboard:

Memory tab from cpu-z:

And my processor is 10400F, and my gpu is GTX1660 Super 6GB GDDR6

I'd just buy another 16GB stick of the same 2667MHz stuff and enjoy life.    It's a prebuilt, not worth trying to pimp out too much.

Oops. I went back up and looked again and missed that line at the bottom twice. 

 

Either way, yeah just buy another of the same thing for 32GB so you're at least running dual channel.

Task manager says slot 1 of 2, so buying more than two RAM sticks isn't actually an option. I would definitely buy a second one to get dual channel support, which is a good performance boot.

 

CPU-Z gives you the physical clock speed, which is 1333 MHz. Since it is DDR (dual data rate) it can perform two operations per clock cycle, which is why it is often shown as having an effective clock speed of ~2666 MHz (1333 x 2). The technically correct term would be 2666 MT/s (million transfers per second)
