RAM Speed and Timings As Fast As Possible

How do you interpret the speed and timing specs on RAM kits, and how much does it matter for your PC?

To be honest, I was expecting Linus to go over what each of those four timing values actually stand for...

4:00 you definately need a wrench when fixing a PC

[Falsafr]

I wish you guys would explain the timings of the ram in more detail

[DarkNia]

I was hoping to hear an explanation of what the timings and frequency actually mean. You basically just spent six minutes to say "it doesn't really matter lol"

You can actually double your RAM with a quick catalytic converter install.

these transitions to the ads are unreal with the creativity

old time watcher, placed a smirk on my face seeing your commmercial start before you video. YEs.

Skylake actually benefits a lot from higher speed DDR4 RAM, especially on CPU intensive games and software. You can get a jump of 20+ more frames from the default 2133MHz to 3200MHz speed kits.

what? an actual video, on april fools day? MADNESS

[MikeE_wf]

Please make. Power efficiency as fast as possible. Explaining the silver, platinum, gold etcz

[deeepinsomnia]

Great video as usual.... why are your palms yellow tinted?

Digital Foundry (partially) disproved this. In CPU bound scenarios in gaming, faster RAM can definitely increase your minimums. Not an excuse to buy the most expensive stuff out there, but springing for a tier or 2 higher could be worth it depending on price.

I wanted to know this ram timing for a long time.
Thanks Linus

Today I watched a 3 min German ad just because it was funny 2:50 funny and informative sketch(4k gaming) and 10 sec actual advertisement. Every ad should be like that o:

Yes I'm sure that spending money on faster ram is better way to improve graphics performance when using an APU, instead of... oh, I dunno, buying a graphics card.

You're the best, LInus! You're my Go-To Techie

I've been waiting years for this.
