I swear, this man's videos are thorough enough to easily match a university class, and probably surpass them in clarity in most cases. Thanks Jason for the amazing content.

[kennethlauer]

This man's the type of guy to get RAM sleep instead of REM sleep

[creativityinpursuit]

Clearest and most concise explanation of how RAM works on YouTube! Thank you for this. I was hoping for DDR4 recommendations as well for intel 13700 and 13900 as I’m currently spec’king out a workstation that uses the Asus B760 Proart D4. If this comment finds you what would you recommend? I do mainly 3D modelling, simulations and rendering in Side Fx Houdini and Blender. Thank you for your time and effort.

[romanalmiron]

Hi Jason, thank you for your videos! I have been in the IT industry for about 15 years now, technology changes so much everyday, I learn new things from just watching your videos, thank you for all the effort you put into these informative videos 🙂

[djstevie]

Clear, concise and informative. Another great video thank you!

[muthaflaco]

That was a lot of useful information unpacked in an easy to follow way. Definitely helped in my decision making process.

[LordWallace]

Thanks for mentioning that cpu memory controller could be a limitation to your ram speeds. I think I told this story in another comment section a long time ago but I felt real silly buying ddr4 3600 cl14 only to not be able to run the kit at xmp with my intel 12700 and having to lower clock speed by 200 mts.

And as if that wasnt enough of a kick in the nuts, when I recently made the switch to 4k from 1440p and upgraded gpu accordingly, for some reason my cpu's ram overclock tolerance went down even further, not allowing me to run this same kit any faster than 3200 cl16.
Oh but it got better. Had a gpu driver problem recently that warranted troubleshooting off the igpu, guess what, now I could only successfully boot up at 3000 mts if I was using the igpu.
Hopefully with an upgrade to a K sku 13th or 14th gen chip depending on prices I'll finally be able to run this kit to its full potential.

I went from knowing literally nothing (and I do mean NOTHING) about PC's to being the "go to guy" about gaming PC's in several RP Discord groups in like 6 months because of Jason's videos.
I just had a guy two days ago ask me if I can help him build his first build.
Jason's videos are so damn useful. I always send everyone here for PC info.

[RADish-official]

No I won’t stop making these ram mistakes

[OClueless]

hello Jason i am currently researching budget pcs for my first built pc! i have selected the rx 6700 xt and the AMD ryzen 5600x. i am now looking for a mobo and have in mind the Asus ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II. And i was looking through this video seeing which RAM i should purchase. your options are good but the rgb is pricy so i looked at my own and i decided to go for the Kingston FURY Renegade RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) 3600 MHz DDR4 CL16. is this a good choice? Thanks Jason!

[DazednConfused]

Another great video, just built a 5600 and planning to build more. I was just wondering what was the "cap" on the ram was. Perfect timing. Thanks

[Jono]

This was so well timed! Currently trying to stack up a Ryzen 7000 upgrade, and DDR5 is so confusing. Thanks for the updated recommendations.

[WaterZer]

Thank you for explaining timings to people because many people (myself included) thought that 6000 CL36 had worse timings than 3000 CL18 when that's not true.

[poorplayer]

Jason, this is going straight to my computer/reference favs. Thank you very much!

[aldronusf]

Thank you for the extremely informative and easy to understand information! Truly appreciate your time and passion put into this!

[aggregatecrab]

Hopefully Ryzen 8000 fixes the fabric timings, I assume that's where all this rumored performance gain is going to come from. Along with better compatibility with faster memory.

[iiAcorn]

What’s crazy is that I’m looking for ram then YouTube recommends this video, safe to say that this video definitely helped 👍🏾

[alexg.]

Hey, i just found your channel and it's amazing, do you recommend Ryzen 7 7800 3XD paired with the MSI MAG Tomahawk and an AIR cooler? is this enough to keep it cool and the VRMS ? at the moment i'm trying to figure what motherboard to buy and MSI MAG tomahawk seems like a good one, i have trust issues with Asus so idk if i should try that brand. Most of the motherboards are very expansive so i try to keep it close to a max of 250 euro.

[samerli]

Great video thank you for the detailed info you always provide for us, Can you please help me choosing the right ram for me I'm using MSI b650-P wifi mobo with 7600x and 7900xtx
