Dear All,

 

I need help for choosing memory for my computer. I have Asrock z170 Extreme4, I need memory kinda like:

  • Affordable budget, like $120
  • It's 16gb
  • No bottleneck

I heard a lot if I used a wrong memory for board like z170, it's will end with bottleneck. Is this statement true? I need help with that :)

 

Thanks before,

Memory won't bottleneck. find the cheapest kit from a  decent brand of your desired capacity.

Just go onto PC part picker, search memory, filter for 2x8 ddr4 and then set price low to high the cheapest art of ram from a known brand is fine. Just to list some known brands for you, crucial, Kingston, corsair, gskill, giel, mushkin. Just ask if there is another brand you are looking at.

Very rarely will memory bottleneck, unless you're really doing RAM intensive stuff (like what, idk) or using the iGPU. With DDR4 pretty much any frequency is plenty.

Pick a 2x8 kit. Something along the 2800~3200mhz range should do. Via partpicker price sorting (and avoiding blue RAM), I recommend this: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Yb8H99/gskill-memory-f43000c15d16grk

Don't stress it too much about the brand. As long as it's not something sketchy, they all buy the same memory chips from the same manufacturers (mainly Samsung, Micron and Hynix). Also too high of a frequency won't give a noticeable performance bump so anything 2400 and above is great.

 

Just look for something that's not too pricey, comes from a known brand, and make sure you like the aesthetics. There really isn't much else to it.
