What you do if your PC doesn't support DDR5 - leave it with DDR4 !!

[st]

I just bought the DDR4 version of this MB specifically because tons of pp say stay away from DDR5. Anyways, very tasty looking build!

[oliknow]

using TG Kryonaut but be cheap and not having the original TG contact frame? ... guess the wasted money already got into the board huh?

[NerdyMeathead]

What do you do when you are out of ideas for youtube shorts? Give the worst PC advice

[FuoFire]

This is the dumbest upgrade you can do😂

[hermanwooster]

Replacing a mobo just for ddr5 seems like a waste, but just my 2 cents.

[zr-rising]

Some z690 do support ddr5 but honestly ddr5 at this point in time isnt that useful

[eletro_doc]

And you got 0.5% performance increase after spending hundreds of dollars.

[AnalystAndy]

What professional PC builders probably over estimate is the frequency of people upgrading their system. I don't. I built my last PC in 2019. I will rock this machine for 5 years and then build a new one. I never upgrade

[BobBrown.]

Not too tight with that CPU bracket. Other wise ram channels and other stuff stops working.

[Ted_Kenzoku]

how to spend 500$ for almost no performance gain

[Nerex]

No. You don't put 1000$ towards an upgrade you don't need. This is awful advice.

I'm on DDR4 with a Ryzen 5900X and the day I will move away from this will be the day the 5900X runs out of steam and can't run games at the FPS I want anymore, and that will be a couple years.

[metallicadragon]

Then 45 minutes later after you reconfigure your bios, it'll be time for dinner. Then another hour later back to the game. What you just dropped another thousand dollars on😢

[ZpZpr]

Out goes the 250 dollar motherboard THAT IS STILL TOTALY FINE BECAUSE NOBODY NEEDS DDR5 MEMORY FOR GAMING and in goes the 350 DOLLAR WASTE OF CASH.

[tike]

You must really love building and really hate saving money upgrading from a single generation like that.

[ZITROZ]

just at least wait for the 14th gen and buy a z890 bruh

[elliotjesus]

I built Ryzen 7 7700X, Lan Li 240mm AiO, B650 motherboard, 64 Gigs GDDR5 and Radeon 7800XT 16Gig video with 6 Terabytes SSD Storage. RGB to the fullest with Windows 11.

[techwitheugene]

Really like the contact frame. Nice build and with the dominator memory it looks stunning ❤️

[fuckugplus]

You know making a x on the proc does the same then just spreading it

What you do if your PC doesn't support DDR5?
Wait till DDR6 is out! 🤯
ddr4 or ddr5 at gaming maybe useless atm bcz. ddr4 too dd5 is only in the most games 3-4fps.... so its totally useless too upgrade it if you have good 4800mhz ddr4 vs 6000mhz ddr5 😱 "3-4fps" but it costs me at the end 350€ more for a cheap board and ram (witout an new cpu) with cpu 600€ if i use the same specs of wifi bt and itx i pay at am5 314€ so its at the end not only 600€ its ~814€ without a gpu who gives more then only 3-4fps, my silent gaming itx pc in all white is 2 months old and costs me 550€ and 2-3 hours work, compare it with a gpu for 800€ and you have much much more fps :D🤣
