Hey guys !
I am getting new cpu and mobo, and ram.
In that case im in doubt what is best regarding to ram ?
The mobo says something about dual ddr4 …
in that case, wont i be able to run 32gb with 4x8 ?
or should I go 2x16 ?
can the mobo even run 4x8 ?
and can if I buy 2x16 now, and buy same kit again later and go 64 ?
if you have any advise regards of this, that would help aswell !
hope u all enjoy sl so far ! cheers !
you will be able to use either 2x16 or 4x8. you can also upgrade by buying the same kit again, yes.
not gonna get ryzen 5000? i guess availability is terrible.
Availability is only one part of the decision… faith/trust in an individual platform is equally key.
Up 'til I got my current R5 3600 I had used Intel (OK; my first big build in 20-some years was an Athlon 900 from 2000, so I’m hardly a stellar example), but there’s a lot more than just “best bang for yer buck” at play.
Intel reallistically need to look at their pricing if they want to remain competetive… if 2020 teaches big tech. companies anything it should be that price is NOT everything.
As far as RAM goes… I’d always favour two sticks over four (MY advice), unless you’re going for max capacity that your 'board can support.
There’s been a lot of people using programs to bypass queues to buying tech and other stuff online and causing a huge problem with stock levels. It’s annoying as there’s hardly any graphic cards either right now, or webcams or anytthing else.
But look on resell sites and yeah they’re all there for rip you off high prices.
Intel has a lot more problems than just pricing to be fair, they need to figure out their own infinity fabric technology they keep on trying to mock AMD for using glue for their chiplets.
Unless they have that sorted, this Big.Little thing isn’t going to work well without a good fabric to link it all. That can take a while to research unless they’re going to throw money at it.
Doesn’t help the guy that helped design the Ryzen left them as soon as he joined either. Something off with upper management with Intel right now which is also another problem with that company.
I know they’re about to take back the gaming crown early next year but it’s not worth it. They’re pumping so much electricity into their chips these days it’s just ugh. No wonder they designed a cooling system for it.
Ryzen’s can use 2 or 4 dimms, same for Intel, it’ll may cost a frame or two going one or the other but read up on the motherbaord and see what it says on the ram part with the manual and go with the ram number and speed you want for the cpu.
