Question 5600x Ram 4x8GB

[Seabass101]

Hey guys, dose 4x8gb ram 3200MHz CL14 really boost Ryzen 5 5600x by 2-10%, just by having all 4 ram sticks in on a x570 motherboard?

Thx

Probably, if you can run quad channel. I'd go for something higher though, like 3600. 4000 is the sweet spot for 5000 series, but it's expensive for the moment.

actually, the 5000 series has the same memory controller as the 3000 series, so the sweet spot is 3733 Mhz. more and the ratio between ram and infinity fabric inside the CPU is desynchronized

4 sticks of RAM are rarely ever better (speed-wise or bandwidth) than 2, as typically 4 sticks run lower clocks /relaxed timings for stability...

Threadrippers are quad channel, not to be confused with 4 sticks of RAM inserted but running dual channel....; normal 1000-5000 series desktop Ryzens are not.

Actually, 4 sticks of RAM almost always gives a performance boost of at least a couple percent. It's marginal, but it's there.
