Hi guys,
could you please kindly comment on the following:
could you please kindly comment on the following:
- Which DDR5 RAM chip is better (in general and for XMP/overclocking) - Hynix M-Die or Samsung B-Die?
- I've heard that "higher speed RAM with good timings should outperform slower RAM with tighter timings" and "on Intel-based builds - improve RAM timings if you mostly game (i.e., frequent tasks, but light in data), and improve clocks if your tasks are data-heavy". Do you agree that if games/office work are my main use scenarios I'd better track special offers on DIMMs with tighter timings, rather than higher frequence? [where DDR5-6000 CL40 will be kinda "golden mean"]
- I've also heard that with Intel (as opposed to AMD) no Memory Training is needed for DDR4/DDR5 to start working on spec-defined (!) clocks. I was surprised that smth. written on the box doesn't work out-of-the-box in AMD builds, but do I need to do something extra with my DDR5 DIMMs so that they start working at the speed I paid for (e.g., 6000), or become ready for o/c via XMP profiles?
- Last rumor I've heard is that "Intel's default configuration is Gear 2". Do I need to change settings in BIOS to activate Gear 1?
