[SOLVED] Can you help me Upgrading my RAM?

[D-3PO]

Hallo everybody and thank you for your kind attention!

As a videoeditor I'm trying to upgrade my system with a larger RAM.

I'm aiming to a 64GB result.

a 32 gb will also be acceptable if I can get many advantages (money and frequence) by keeping my actual RAM chipset.


Gigabyte support sent me here:

to search my new RAM, but I can't read it ^^'

And plz forgive my poor English!


This is my actual system:

MOBO:	GA-AB350-Gaming (1.x)
BIOS Ver:	F4
Brand:	GIGABYTE
GPU:	GeForce® GTX 1070 G1 Gaming 8G (2.0)

Operating System:	Win 10 64-bit

Size:	16GB
Memory Part No.:	F4-3200C14D-16GFX
PSU	750W

Are you running out of ram currently? Check your ram usage, to make sure. You might benefit more, from a CPU upgrade. Your current ram, in a 2x16gb, 32gb kit, instead of 16gb, would be my pick, if you do need the ram.

You might benefit more, from a CPU upgrade.

Why do you think so?

 

[logainofhades]

Video editing software tends to like more cores, and threads. If you are not fully utilizing the ram, that you have now, adding more will do nothing for you. That's why I recommend checking ram usage, before spending money on ram.

anyway, I'm using around 90% of my ram, and sometimes my softwares get stuck becouse of it.

I'd still need someone to point me out to some ram options from that QVL list!!

As the 16gb flare-x kit is working now, I see no reason why a 32gb kit would not. Flare X was made for AMD systems.

Thank you very much!
so you really don't want me to get a 64GB set? XD

If you're only using 90% of your 16GB RAM kit, 32GB of RAM will be good enough.

32GB is more RAM that you would think. And it'll suit you fine.

You wouldn't even be able to do any video editing if you needed 64GB and all you have is 16GB.

Definitely get a faster CPU like Logain said.

Of course there are many things that I can't even try to do due to my system limitations.

I'm using 90% with only my premiere and effects.

If I could, I would be pleased to extend my workflow to a premiere/after effects/audition/photoshop/mocha/redgiant plug-in & dynamic link workflow

without being forced to save, close app, open the other in stand-alone version, save, close ...

and maybe watching things on chrome in the meanwhile.

So? Nobody wanting to suggesting me a 64GB kit according to the QVL of my mobo?

 

[logainofhades]

You don't need 64gb ram.
