    Do I add 2x4 or another 1x8?

    I currently have a 1x8GB memory setup and am looking to upgrade to 16GB. It's effectively cheaper for me to add 2x4GB than to get another single 8GB stick. Would it be detrimental to my memory timings or such to have 4GBx4GBx8GB?

    1x8 3000 or 2x4 2400 in (2018)

    So, I bought a stick of Corsair Vengeance LPX 1x8GB @ 3000MHz. I think it was a worthwhile investment. I tried all 16GB of total memory @ 2400 and my Cinebench score dropped 200 points!! But after running the 1x8 by itself at its rated 3000 speed, I saw a 14 point increase over my original score...

    1x8 3000 or 2x4 2400 in (2018)

    I'm going to go ahead and try the 1x8 @3000 and see where I'm at. If performance decreases, then I'll trade it out for another 2x4 @2400(unless I get 3000 for cheap) until I have enough for a 2x8 @3000

    1x8 3000 or 2x4 2400 in (2018)

    So, Ive read a lot of stuff about faster memory speeds being better for Ryzen CPUs. However, more recently I've heard that the newer Ryzen lineup doesn't scale as dramatically with faster memory. Ive got a R5 2400g on a gigabyte ab350 gaming 3. Ive got a 2x4 kit of skHynix at 2400. I was...

    Wirelss card not woking with gigabyte ab350 gaming 3

    I realized that with only having 8GB total memory, I cannot allocate more than 3xxMB of memory to the igpu and have full functionality of the rest of my components. As long as I don't allocate any more ram, everything seems to work just fine.

    Wirelss card not woking with gigabyte ab350 gaming 3

    So, I reinstalled windows and then the wireless card worked again... for a day... then I tried reinstalling the processor driver update, which again, worked for a day. But every time I turn off my computer, it doesn't recognize any internet connection. Even from the ethernet connected to my...

    Wirelss card not woking with gigabyte ab350 gaming 3

    I just finished upgrading my motherboard and cpu to the Ryzen 5 2400g and gigabyte ab350 gaming 3. The only PCIe slot I'm using is for the wireless card, but it's not woking. Ive tried both PCIe x1 slots and neither of them allow me to access wireless settings from the desktop. The card worked...

    I need a video editing machine

    I'm planning to start a YouTube channel, which would require some editing. However, I have previously had whole lot of trouble trying to edit video. Partially because my current computer can't handle consistently moving the file sizes that I'm working with, I cannot seem to process them with any...

    Can I use Q-flash without a cpu?

    As the title states, I'm wondering if I can update my bios without having a cpu inserted. I have the Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3, which supports Q-flash. Im going to be dropping in a Ryzen 3 2200g, but I forgot to ask the seller to update the bios before shipping. Is it possible to update the bios...

    You will have to forgive me, but I am fairly new to working the innards of computers... My brother gave me his old computer, (theres a link to the parts list below, that includes the old hdd) since it was still newer than mine. The only thing I wanted to save from my old computer was the 1TB...

    New Computer has blinking red light from chipset

    I put together an asrock z270 build with 1 8GB ram stick, but it won't post. When I flip the power switch, the chipset lights up green, then blinks red quickly 3 times, then pulses red. I've checked my cables and tried different dimm slots, but it keeps doing the same thing. Do I need to get a 2...
