To clarify, is your 16GB 4x4GB or 2x8GB?

IT SAYS on each memory DDR3 8GB 2X4GB and i have 4 slots of each, i am thinking each one is 4gb total 16gb
hope that helps more

and this would be ok on my board running at 1866mhz or would i have to change the mzh for something else.
pls remember i am not good on spec stuff. thats why i am asking !

 

[playingnetwork]

Yes your board supports 1866 Mhz.

I would not recomend getting 32GB of ram since that is super overkill.

why is it overkill, just asking as I have almost the same build I am buying and want the same upgrade lol

buying
ASRock Killer Z97 Fatal1ty motherboard
intel i7 4790k
8gb g skill ram
GTX 780

selling
i5 2500k Gigabyte
P67A-UD3-B3 GTX

My current setup is used for editing, streaming/recording at sametime, multiple monitors, I find I am maxing out my i5 sometimes

32GB can be overkill, it all depends on what you do with your rig. It's becoming fairly common these days. editing/rendering etc can eat up the DRAM

 

[WR4ITH]

about the overkill, i was just using it for beta testing. but i need the extra power for the modding texture tiles i make. a lot of photo work and video editor work as well

 

[Tradesman1]

The 32GB should be fine 😉

 

[christonian]

The 32GB should be fine 😉

and what about me should I need 32 or 16 fine? editing, streaming/recording at sametime, multiple monitors, 1080p max for gaming wont be going to 1440 or 4k for a while

sorry op for minor hijack of thread lol

 

[Tradesman1]

What size videos will you be editing?

 

[christonian]

What size videos will you be editing?

[Tradesman1]

16GB should be fine

 

[christonian]
