    [SOLVED] Is there Significant Performance loss if 2400MHZ DDR4 RAM Speed for Ryzen 5000 Series CPU's is being used?

    Greetings! I am going to be upgrading my system to a Ryzen 5000 series CPU, particularly the 5800x or the 5900x (Can't really decide yet because both CPU's are just too good, though I'm an editor so there's a strong chance I'll be getting the 5900x). I did my research and I know that Ryzen...

    [SOLVED] Can you go beyond the XMP Profile Speed of a RAM Stick?

    Greetings! Apologies for the newbie question, but can you go beyond the XMP speed of a RAM stick? For example, if a RAM stick has an XMP speed of 2400MHZ can I go beyond that? In a general sense, it's like "can I overclock the memory?" Thank you.

    [SOLVED] Ram mixing query, different sizes but all else equivalent

    I am thinking about buying the exact same type of ram as I currently have, 2x4gb ddr 1600mhz, but instead it would be 2x8gb. It is literally the same but with different sizes. Would it work if I added the 2x8gb to my already setup 2x4gb?

    Question Memory upgrade?

    Currently I have 16 gigs of this ram: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4vWrxr/gskill-memory-f42400c15d16gvr Would it be a wise investment to buy another 16 gigs of this same ram or would it be better to buy 16 gigs of 3200mhz ram. Would it be worth buying 32 gigs of 3200mhz?
