I did a 3600X build in Jan 2020. I started with 16GB, like I had in my last PC. Upped it to 32GB because I do way more multi tasking now, because I have more processor power. Just upped it to 64 GB because I was dipping into swap space. These new AMD processors are absolutely fantastic. Can't wait to update to 16 cores/32 threads.

To run Chrome you need at least 69 terabytes

Nicely done, educational and informative.

Lpx normal and lpx pro is THE SAME RAM, BUT WITHOUT RGB... The black normal is better, smaller looks more cold and fits behind into almost any cpu cooler

[kadeemhopkinson]

which is better 32gb(2x16)Dominator platinum 3200 or 64gb (2x32) vengeance pro 3200... I don’t know much about memory, my setup is used for audio production and sound design

[fficialdregs]

I have the Vengeance in two of three laptops and in my desktop gaming rig. All three has 16gb, but my rig supports 126 or 128GB so i will need that many as long as it doesnt negativity affect my rig

Since its a ram benchmark, it would be nice to have the test to have other windows running during the benchmarking like streaming things on twitch, having tabs opened in chrome, and having spotify playing music in the background..

Razer: "Welp, we're f*cked..."

[iConceptPhones]

I've got 24GB Corsair vengeance (3x8GB). I'll add 8GB more to have 32GB for my iPhone rendering stuffs.

[Diego_Barrr]

Wait I’m confused. Your a200 and i200 pre builts don’t have an option for 16gbs of ram at 3600mhz only 3200 or am I blind lol

[dashling]

I use 12 GB of RAM on my computer and I have to say is that you don't really need 16 GB for everything except for streaming and probably bigger video projects I guess

[joshmendoza]

When running my apps and it takes 85% of memory do I need to upgrade ? The less % the smoother right ?

[armandodoval]

I just downloaded more RGB to my 16GB ram
