As I go through the sections of this site I'm now moving from
http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3476957/good-budget-mobo-1600-build.html
... to here.
So now it's a Ryzen 5 1600 on Asus Prime b350m-a
I've read stuff and watched people who seem to know a lot and get the impression that memory OC is not really making a real world difference. Sure In some artificial benchmark you can eke out another 20% of speed. It you pay for in $ as well as possible stability issues.
For example I saw a comparison video and they showed 7-zip performance (I hate waiting ages to decompress a rar file) and the difference between 2133 and 3200 memory was silly small.
I'm certainly interested in stability of my system because what I hate even more than waiting for file copy to finish is rebooting my system and redoing 20 minutes of 3D work.
Also I am learning that 8GB is really quite enough for almost all activities. When I play games I don't also use photoshop. I just don't. Maybe I'll one day record some game play and put it on YouTube but even then I Imagine memory management in windows 10 is so efficient now that I can run GTA V and Vegas Pro at the same time and still get away with 8 GB... or am I fooling myself?
I'd certainly prefer paying $50 for 2x 4GB 2133 instead of forking over $140 for 2x 8GB 3200
Or am I missing something?
