[SOLVED] Would a I5 3570K benefit from a ram speed and capacity upgrade?

[POTTU98]

Hello gentlemen, i just want to ask if i could see a performance uplift if i upgraded from 8 gigs of Kingston Valueram 1600mhz to 16 gigs of something speedier?
The reason i'm even asking is because the 3570K is quite a old CPU and intel in general has not been very picky about slow ram

Cheers for reading

Some games are still going to run badly on a 3570k with 16GB of ram I know coz I got one sitting in the closet

They are insanely biases against AMD hardware and they think you only need 4 for gaming. Just look at Tom's Hardware's CPU hierarchy, at least they aren't biased

UBM has an opinion.
Tom's has an opinion.
Other sites have an opinion.

I put them all in a pot and stir it.

lol!

It's always good to use multiple benchmarks as you'll see the relative differences pretty clearly.

Some of my favorites that are browser biased as well:

I'll run these all and they'll all give me something relative to work with when I'm comparing upgrades.
