Thank you! I found this video to be very informative, clear, and easy to follow.

[mtmccornack]

So funny coincidence, I'm basically 90% done with building that nearly identical rig and totally had questions about whether or not i should buy another 2 sticks of RAM and how to set them up in the bios, etc.... then I found this helpful video! (Fractal north, I91400K, 2X32 GIG T CREATE, Proart z790, NZXT Kraken, GPU to be ordered next week)

[auroraflash]

My PC is not crashing, it's crushing!

[heirtothethrone]

This was a very insightful and helpful video. These are the kinds of videos that I like to see because I think building can be rather easy but it's the fine tuning after the the build when I find videos like these helpful.

Good to see more videos coming out on the trials of running 4 dimm kits. For the longest time all I could find out was that xmp only worked on 2dimm. (Which obviously would have swayed my purchase decisions had I know up front). But just recently found another video explaining how to get xmp to work with 4 dimm. The only other difference on that one was to slightly bump the voltage settings to increase stability. Was able to get my 5600 dominator kits to run stable at 5200 on a 12700k and z690 strix board.

Also consider some MBs have lower overall ram limits, for instance having a limit of 128gb as opposed to 192 gb. Or even 96 as opposed to 128.

[toddwerther]

New build and still went with DDR4. 2x16MB CL16 3200Mhz for $52 (pre-black friday 2023).... $20 US for an extra 16GB made the decision to go 32GB easy... Was able to o/c... and create separate o/c profiles in the bios. One for 3600 CL 16 and the other 4100 CL18. Tried CL 14 but no go... The extra ram on intel helps with 1% and 01% lows. Combined it with a $120 refurbished MSI Z790 Wifi MB, went Z790 due to better memory traces on the MB.

Great video!

The bots in the comments section are crazy nowadays. At least make sense of what you said. The comment isn’t applicable to the video… whatsoever.

[Real_MisterSir]

Running 2x48GB Corsair 6400 CL32 on a B660-I strix board feels so good. Crazy to think we can have 96gb high speed ram on a 2-ram slot B660 board

[sunwalker]

for me you are making the most pleasing videos for pc tech i know

[cheekster]

Another useful video.

Thank you my friend.

[konvictz]

My advice (if you want to save headache like me) is get 2 ram sticks (2 x 48gb) to give you 96gb ram with high speeds and xmp. It's a shame that Intel and the motherboard manufacturers don't address this issue but I stick to 2 ram sticks to avoid all the problems with 4 sticks and xmp.

[ruvimkomonash]

This video is amazing and very detailed. I have a gigabyte z690 board and was able to follow along

[tanmayhembram]

Great topic. Useful tips when running 4 sticks and if they don't.

Somewhere I saw that when running ram too much faster than what system can handle like for 7000 series AM5 6000Mhz with CL 30 is fully ok, but going over this the system and ram ratio of performance shifts from 1:1 to 2:1 more towards ram than cpu I don't know what this topic is. Where do find these data like best Mhz + CL combo for each generations of systems.

Also Mr Tech Notice I know you mention the effect components in your videos through numbers, percentages.

Can you upload small clip showing playbacks, multiple asset load(effects + layers), Max vid quality(resolution) editing such to the point that it starts to lag or something like that ? Like a real world performance scenario for Processors, RAMs, SSDs etc or comparison with one generation below to show the real world improvements. It would be very helpful for all of us 😅. I know its a tall order a small clip would suffice if possible on such new performance uplifting components videos.

[TechBlock]

Thank you for these RAM videos :D I wish this had been released a few weeks ago before I picked up 4x24GB RAM instead of 2x48GB... But despite this, I've managed 6600MHz and XMP timings so it's not bad.

[theecstatic]

Good job explaining such a complex concept in such a short time duder

[elektronischermeister]

On Ryzen 7000 I see no performance scaling (except minimum FPS in games) from going DDR5 4800 to 6000.

Better timings does improve performance, but what about stability? How can be 100% sure you are using a stable system for working that should not crash?

I am more concerned about stability than performance nowadays.

EDIT: For granted stability the best bet is using JEDEC specifications. That way your RAM would have a hefty extra margin for working reliably, as doing RAM overclocking is like going to the edge without falling and satay there.

[myma]

Hmm, (relatively) faster ram usually impacts performance very little, plus 2 or 4 sticks is not that problem with modern hw/sw as long as you're not pushing it (which again makes little sense), some scenarios even favor more memory ranks.
What causes most crashes in my experience is heavy pagefile use, so more RAM is always better.

[melvinanndy]

Should probably explain abit more about motherboards. From recent experience of buying an Aorus Z790 elite, and thru several crashes and research, I've found out that the motherboard makers these days overoptimise their overclocking profiles and remove certain voltage and power limits when you overclock the CPU and/or RAMs. This causes instability at high clock speeds on both sides and may even end up damagit components.

I"ve had to spend several hours reading up on motherboards, cpus and ram and tweaking bios settings in order to find a somewhat stable compromise in the bios settings where i can overclock the CPU(14900kf) and get my RAM (2x32GB at 6000mhz) speed up to 80% of its overclocking potential (any higher and I end up crashing whatever games im playing).

[ernestkiss]

I have a i5 14600KF and an MSI Z790-GAMING-PLUS-WIFI, and I just selected similar XMP profile like you, with 2x16GB 6.000Mhz and CL32 and working without any problem.
