Before I ask my question I’ll post specs:
I9 13900kf
4090
Mb is asus prime z790 p wifi
Currently ram is trident ddr5 32 6000mhz.
overlocked pc/gpu/activated xmp (prefer tweaked mode). Everything works and is great. Could literally keep it as is. Just looking for a smidge more.
I looked into everything and I’m set for purchasing
G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 48GB (2 x 24GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 8000 (PC5 64000)
My question is, am I going to be able to utilize the 8000mhz. According to mb specs it says 7200+ so I would assume the 8000 is ok to push for. The difference between the two is only $60 bucks. But I also don’t like Paying for something I can’t use. Memory isn’t my finest knowledge so figure I’d reach out and hear from you all.
Based on the information provided, your current RAM is Trident DDR5 32GB running at 6000MHz. According to the motherboard specifications, it supports RAM speeds of 7200MHz and higher. It should be compatible with the 8000MHz RAM you are considering. The price difference between the two options is $60, and since your motherboard supports the higher frequency, it seems reasonable to go for the faster RAM.
Keep in mind that the actual performance gain from upgrading to 8000MHz RAM might be minimal in most scenarios. It is advisable to assess your specific needs and usage patterns to determine if the extra expense is justified.
