How when you need 16GB, 32GB, 64GB of Ram

How when you need 16GB, 32GB, 64GB of RAM?

 

 

More three questions, if not ask too much...

Intel only supports 3200Mhz for DDR4, is this a worth speed?

 

Do you need to worry about a cooling system for RAM?

 

How long live a ram and how to avoid kill it? Can you make it live for 10 years?

In general, I always maximize the amount of RAM my system will support.

That speed for Intel CPU is fine.

I cool my RAM in my workstation, heat is the enemy of all computer parts.

Keep RAM cool, don't overclock it, and it'll live for a long time. I have a 15 year old system and the RAM is still fine.

Depends on use case. Older games, only one monitor, don't multitask much, 16 GB is fine

 

newer AAA games, multiple monitors, light multitasking, 32GB would be better. Mid level complexity 3D modeling would also benefit from 32 GB

 

looking to play future AAA games, multiple monitors, heavy multitasking, bunch of background tasks, 64GB would be useful for you. Also, high complexity 3D modeling would benefit from this amount of ram.

Intel supports ddr4 speeds higher than 3200. XMP speeds are Intel certified speeds.

 

Usually memory doesn't need any special cooling. Heat is the enemy of chips so good airflow over memory modules is important.

 

Content creation generally needs more than 16GB of memory. How much more depends mostly on the resolution of the content being manipulated. A few games benefit from more than 16GB. For the most part, 16GB is sufficient for most needs.

I really appreciate every reply with such nice helpful comments that cleared out a lot.

I got 2x16GB ddr4 3200Mhz  kind of future proof , but not DDR5
