    Question How does DDR work with different RAM sizes

    Oh didn't notice the 16 GB limit, I'm assuming motherboard limitations. Thanks for the help (y)

    Question RAM discontinued, what can i do?

    Sometimes mixing works, sometimes it doesn't, just depends on luck. Much better option would be to buy 2 sticks of 16gb RAM and sell the old kit, I saw amazon selling a corsair vengeance 2x16 3200mhz cl16 kit for £50, sell your old kit for £20 or so and its a cheap upgrade

    Question How does DDR work with different RAM sizes

    I've recently bought an Asus Vivobook M1603QA, it comes with 8GB of RAM soldered onto the motherboard, the RAM is running at 3200mhz and no information on the CAS. The laptop also has a slot to add one more stick of RAM, I'm sure 99% of 3200mhz 8GB RAM sticks I would buy would work but what...

    Question RAM upgrade and configuration ?

    Just an update and conclusion for this post I ended up trying that 3600mhz 32GB RAM kit on my B450M-A and it works fine at the rated speed, whether these motherboards can easily run RAM at that speed or if I just got lucky I definitely can recommend it

    Question RAM upgrade and configuration ?

    I’ve recently rebuilt my pc as it was a mess before and I’m really not planning on doing that again by upgrading the motherboard any time soon so getting that 3600mhz kit sounds a bit too much for me Thanks a lot for your reply though, I think your first suggestion sounds best, I’ll sell the...

    Question RAM upgrade and configuration ?

    I’ve decided to add an extra 16GB of RAM to my gaming PC as it would help with the games I play, though I’m not sure if I should get 2x16GB 3600MHz for £50 and sell my old RAM for around £30 or if I buy another 2x8GB set of 3200MHz vengeance RAM for £30 From the videos I’ve watched it seems...

    Question Alternating between base speed and boost speed

    Alright cool thanks, as long as the CPU's life won't be affected I don't mind running it at high speeds. Thanks for answering, it's so confusing when you read 10 different articles and forums all saying different things

    Question Alternating between base speed and boost speed

    So I've installed a new cooler on my Ryzen 5 5600 and it's running so cool I've decided to overclock it but I can not figure out how to just overclock the boost speed and leave the base speed alone, for example leaving the base speed at 3.5ghz when I'm not playing games but when I am the CPU...

    [SOLVED] DVI Problem

    I bought a pretty old BenQ monitor (XL2411T 2012) that can run 120hz and maybe even 144hz? The guy who sent me the monitor only game me a HDMI cable which does not allow me to reach anything above 60hz, so I used my own DVI cable (Yes its dual link) and all I get is a distorted and blurry screen...

    [SOLVED] BenQ or Acer?

    thanks for the reply, i was going to choose the acer aswell, I'd like to buy a 144hz but its just slightly out my budget and 75hz feels like enough for me

    [SOLVED] BenQ or Acer?

    I've been looking at monitors for a while and finally settled on 2 but I don't know which one to choose, Acer KG241Qbii or the BenQ GL2480E? The Acer is very similar; 1ms response time, 24", 75hz + it has FreeSync which I can take advantage of and its cheaper but I've heard BenQ monitors are...

    Question Whats better?

    I've began to look for an NVMe SSD for my new pc build and after around 20 minutes of searching I found 2 SSDs which have basically the same specs and price, can someone tell me if one is better or if they're basically both the same, I've obviously heard of Corsair before but never of Sabrent...
