I'm thinking of replacing the RAM in my rig and I've never really understood the different memory standards shown in motherboard specifications. For example, on newegg, my motherboard (Gigabyte GA-X99 Gaming 5) shows that it supports
I would assume O.C. refers to overclocking in some way. I've never really OC'd my rig but always thought I might get around to it. Six years later....
Anyway, does this mean DDR4 3000, for example, is only supported if I make OC adjustments? Or does it refer to a specific type of memory? I think I've seen listings for DDR4 3000 memory without the "(O.C.)" so I'm not sure what it means.
Thanks in advance!
- DDR4 3000(O.C.) / 2800(O.C.) / 2666(O.C.) / 2400(O.C.) / 2133
