Question Should I get faster RAM for my Ryzen build.

[YK16]

The Ryzen 5 2600 has dropped to £120 and I picked it up but I only have 16gb 2400mhz Corsair memory. Is it worth it to get something like the Trident Z 3000mhz, will it improve gaming performance?

What is the make/model of your motherboard? That info will help assess the performance gain of the faster memory.

In general, faster memory is better for gaming performance, but it won't provide a quantum leap. Likely a few FPS gained only, if even noticeable at all.

Benchmarking apps will measure a difference, but user experience not so much (lesser).

The short answer is yes. Here is a great video to watch.

Make sure you update your drivers too.
