I love your channel. You are doing it to help people. You are honest. You are factual. You are concerned and educating your audience. Thank you.
Hi jason, commenting for the third time, looks like my comments with the link to my spreadsheet were deleted somehow. Anyhow, huge fan of your videos. I planning on buying my very first gaming pc this month. Since I can't link the doc, i will just type it out. I chose the 7900x bundle from microcentre. A 6950 xt, a montech 903 case, deepcool ls720, corsair rme 1000 watts 990 pro 2tb. Budget is 1800 i am a programmer by profession and gamer by hobby. I need high cpu because sometimes I run programs that eat up the cpu. I mostly do AAA gaming, and valorant, cs on the side. ( never played Minecraft in my life and my first experience i want it to be in 4k ray tracing 😂)
Hi Jason,
So my budget is around 900$ max. I am trying to build a future proof pc rn. My first thought was to build a pc with ryzen 7600x but b650 mobo prices are very high in my country. Reason for choosing 7600x is because i can upgrade the processor in the future without changing my mobo.But it seems impossible rn.Also,in that 900$ it includes a gigabyte g24f2 165hz 1080p monitor but doesn’t include a gpu because i will sell my old rig and get the rx 6700 xt.
I can take the 7500f but in my previous two builds both times my gpu died on me so i am kinda scared to take a cpu without integrated graphics.
Can you help me with a future proof build in this price range?
@proshantobunny5673 no such thing as future proof. Build a pc for your needs today because who knows what coming down the road. In 3-5 years you will need an upgrade regardless to stay relevant.
@@Daonexus it's because TH-cam deletes links in the comments of videos. Post it in a Community Post instead.
I swear, this man's videos are thorough enough to easily match a university class, and probably surpass them in clarity in most cases. Thanks Jason for the amazing content.
Thanks so much for the feedback! So glad they are helpful (:
Pal seriously now!? Yeah, his videos are cool, very informative and pragmatic but only for the average Joe user!! Do you even know what level of depth and complexity you learn at the university!? I don't think so because if you would, you would have never made that statement. What we have learned there is not even in the same league or weight class. Of course it's not that easy to understand like a simple TH-cam video
@@tiagonascimento4386 Apologies! Yes, university is extremely important for gaining deep and well-researched understanding. My point being, it is all too easy for me to get lost in that level of detail (especially when it comes to technology), and I feel that many people benefit from his ability to render so much of that often complicated information so accessible and applicable.
@@tiagonascimento4386
Undergrad is pretty meh, nothing you can't learn yourself with some textbooks and youtube videos.
Uni's biggest resource are the professors themself.

Clearest and most concise explanation of how RAM works on TH-cam! Thank you for this. I was hoping for DDR4 recommendations as well for intel 13700 and 13900 as I’m currently spec’king out a workstation that uses the Asus B760 Proart D4. If this comment finds you what would you recommend? I do mainly 3D modelling, simulations and rendering in Side Fx Houdini and Blender. Thank you for your time and effort.
Hi Jason, thank you for your videos! I have been in the IT industry for about 15 years now, technology changes so much everyday, I learn new things from just watching your videos , thank you for all the effort you put into these informative videos 🙂
You're very welcome! So glad that you're enjoying the channel! :)
Thanks for mentioning that cpu memory controller could be a limitation to your ram speeds. I think I told this story in another comment section a long time ago but I felt real silly buying ddr4 3600 cl14 only to not be able to run the kit at xmp with my intel 12700 and having to lower clock speed by 200 mts.
And as if that wasnt enough of a kick in the nuts, when I recently made the switch to 4k from 1440p and upgraded gpu accordingly, for some reason my cpu's ram overclock tolerance went down even further, not allowing me to run this same kit any faster than 3200 cl16.
Oh but it got better. Had a gpu driver problem recently that warranted troubleshooting off the igpu, guess what, now I could only successfully boot up at 3000 mts if I was using the igpu.
Hopefully with an upgrade to a K sku 13th or 14th gen chip depending on prices I'll finally be able to run this kit to its full potential.
Yeah, other than XMP settings for my Corsair ram the only thing I can run is factory DDR4 3600 CL18. That's on my MSI Tomahawk z790. I'm using Intel Extreme tuning on Desktop, so with no overclocking in bios, so I don't think that is hindering me from booting at 3800.
Crazy thing is. "Memory Try It" in bios has stupid 4800mhz CL 15 timings; which most every kit of ram on the market would crash with. Another setting is 4000 CL14.
Those kits would cost $400 to get any amount of ram, say 32Gb x2...
I went from knowing literally nothing (and I do mean NOTHING) about PC's to being the "go to guy" about gaming PC's in several RP Discord groups in like 6 months because of Jason's videos.
I just had a guy two days ago ask me if I can help him build his first build.
Jason's videos are so damn useful. I always send everyone here for PC info.
Thats amazing! Thanks so much for letting me know it means a lot. Congrats on your pc building journey!
I mean.. I built my first pc on my own when I was 15 from just a handful of TH-cam videos . Hardly a big deal
Hey man can u help me with a build pls ! Need to know if my parts are good
Clear, concise and informative. Another great video thank you!
Thank you!!! :)
hello Jason i am currently researching budget pcs for my first built pc! i have selected the rx 6700 xt and the AMD ryzen 5600x. i am now looking for a mobo and have in mind the Asus ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II. And i was looking through this video seeing which RAM i should purchase. your options are good but the rgb is pricy so i looked at my own and i decided to go for the Kingston FURY Renegade RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) 3600 MHz DDR4 CL16. is this a good choice? Thanks Jason!
What’s crazy is that I’m looking for ram then TH-cam recommends this video, safe to say that this video definitely helped 👍🏾
I heard you reaching out into the force . . . :)
I literally was about to go buy some ram at microcenter. But kinda wanna wait until prime day
So idealistic. Yeah, that's your phone telling google.
This was so well timed! Currently trying to stack up a Ryzen 7000 upgrade, and DDR5 is so confusing. Thanks for the updated recommendations.
So glad we could help!
Thank you for explaining timings to people because many people (myself included) thought that 6000 CL36 had worse timings than 3000 CL18 when that's not true.
So glad we could help!
That was a lot of useful information unpacked in an easy to follow way. Definitely helped in my decision making process.
Another great video, just built a 5600 and planning to build more. I was just wondering what was the "cap" on the ram was. Perfect timing. Thanks
For RAM, I agree QVL is somewhat moot at this point unless you’re trying to overclock to really high speeds. That being said I tend to look and focus on chip manufacturer instead for maximum compatibility. For DDR5, Hynix is the way to go right now. DDR4 Samsung or Hynix is fine.
QVL was really important for the past 18 months, but thankfully that time is now past!
i Want to Upgrade to an 14700k when it comes out with DDR5, Mobo will be z790 Hero Dark and for the Ram Speed i can go 8000mt/s will it work fine just with XMP and go , because i watch other youtubers like framechasers and in his Videos he clearly says all DDR5 above 6800 will have compatibility issues they dont work with just XMP you have to tweak them manually ?
14th might be better but on 12th I've had to manually set my ram speeds, XMP has failed me on 2 boards (haven't done BIOS updates etc) It's still really fast and snappy even if the speed isn't the full rated, but 14th is supposed to be better with speeds compatibility, as 13th is also. 12th I guess it was new pains. Would still check QVL buy the same or a close kit, I ended up with 48gb kit but I can't run 6400 speed on 12900KF for example. @@onlyadel1388

@@DeepfriedBeans4492 gaming and editing videos
Hopefully Ryzen 8000 fixes the fabric timings, I assume that's where all this rumored performance gain is going to come from. Along with better compatibility with faster memory.
Hey, i just found your channel and it's amazing, do you recommend Ryzen 7 7800 3XD paired with the MSI MAG Tomahawk and an AIR cooler? is this enough to keep it cool and the VRMS ? at the moment i'm trying to figure what motherboard to buy and MSI MAG tomahawk seems like a good one, i have trust issues with Asus so idk if i should try that brand. Most of the motherboards are very expansive so i try to keep it close to a max of 250 euro.
Jason, this is going straight to my computer/reference favs. Thank you very much!
So glad it was helpful!
Hi! I've been deep-diving your channel in preparation for my upcoming PC upgrade. Preparing everything for black friday. I have a RAM question; For AMD you recommend DDR5/6000/CAS30. But the ram chips I'm browing through have additional numbers. Such as 40-40-96 or 36-36 or 36-36-76. Any thoughts on those and on the performance impact on that? Thanks!
Also; Do I need to pay attention to that AMD EXPO flag?
AMD EXPO is the Overclock method for AMD IIRC. So, basically the same as Intel XMP if you are using AMD. It allows you to run the ram at a higher clock speed as long as the motherboard supports the speed.
Those other numbers are the clock timings, it affects the stability of the ram, not sure the details beyond that though.
Dropping some knowledge!!!! 💯
Hey Nic! We're trying :)
I needed this, with ddr5 ram prices down it’s definitely attractive, just picked up a ddr5 z690 motherboard and hope to get a ram kit on prime day
Thank you for the extremely informative and easy to understand information! Truly appreciate your time and passion put into this!
Thanks so much, happy to hear you appreciate it! We're happy to help. And thank you for watching :)
Even without mods, some games like Escape from Tarkov, Star Citizen and others will use more than 16 GB of Ram. 16GB is not even near-future-proof when you want to play the most demanding games.
Local prices for ram vary WILDLY around here - a stick of DDR5 6000mhz CL30 is nearly twice as expensive as DDR5 6000mhz CL40, for example. You stated around 15:48 that slower kits offer nearly no savings, hence the recommendation.
But under a scenario where the price difference is so large, would the performance loss of going with a 6000mhz CL40 kit be significant over a 6000mhz CL30 nowadays for a Ryzen 7600X?
Thanks :)
Strictly based on CL values? Take the cheaper one if money is tight. Sure 30 or 36 are better than 40 but it's barely noticeable unless you are a technician or really into overclocking or hardware
Love the video its very informative. I have left over Corsair DDR4 3200 CL16 64GB 4 :stick left over from my previous upgrade, what MB do you recommend for an all white build? I'm thinking 360 Corsair AIO, B650 MB, Ryzen 5800x3d, AMD GPU, 850w corsair PSU. Lian li snow white case or corsair 400D airflow. Rate my build?? lol..
Jason, Is there a good RAM set for Intel CAD Computer that you'd recommend. Thinking 2x32 = 64GB to start with using Intel(i7 or i9 CPU) Thanks! Kevin
I purchased and installed 2 sticks of DDR5 CL32 6400MT/s alongside my 7800x3d, not realizing that there were compatibility issues with Ryzen CPUs and some of the faster RAM. What would you recommend for my use case? Can I anticipate better performance if I go about manually changing the timings and reducing the speed down to 6000MT/s? I should also mention that I am not experiencing any stability issues with the 6400 EXPO profile, though that did require a BIOS update. Prior to updating my BIOS, my system wouldn’t even POST when I activated EXPO.
Gskill trident z neo cl30 6000mhz. Used buildzoids timings and 6000mhz cl28
I went with G Skill Trident's Cl30 6000 and it's been great. Ryzen seems to work best on 6000MT/s (for now)
No I won’t stop making these ram mistakes
LOL :)
I WONT EVA GUNNA STOP MANING RAM MISTAKES
Just found your video, in which segment of your RAM recommendation would you say the 5800x3d & 5700x3d fall under?
love your videos learning heaps from them, given the prices of pc parts in Australia I can't afford to upgrade my CPU or Mother board but want to add some extra RAM what RAM would you recommend for a gigabyte h110m-h-cf currently have 16gb of RAM but want 32GB, my CPU is is Intel i7-7700k.

Hello Jason
I've some questions below .
-> MB AM5 - ASUS PRIME B650M-A WIFI DDR5
specs is 6400+(OC)/ 6200(OC)/ 6000(OC)/ 5800(OC)/ 5600(OC)/ 5400(OC)/ 5200/ 5000/ 4800
1) Can i put 5600 speed into it and what will be the speed of overclocking and not overclocking ?
2) Can i put ram without AMD Expo into this MB that only support AMD Expo ?
We answer all these questions in the video so I recommend watching it. That board states compatibility for 5600 in an overclocked mode. The base speed will be dependent upon the RAM manufacturer. All Ryzen 7000 motherboards support both XMP and EXPO and there's really no difference between them.
1) if you put 5600 ram into the system and don't enable XMP or EXPO (both are factory tuned overclocks) you will probably get 4800 speed. The ram will come with up to 5 profiles pre-tuned (generally 1-3 and some blank ones though) and you can (but shouldn't) overclock the ram manually.
2) EXPO or XMP will not be that important unless you are trying to get very fast ram with very tight timings to run in 4x sticks then EXPO might help it be stable if you are on AM5.
Hi, great video as usual!! What’s the best ram for gaming on an I9 14900k, MB Asus Z790 maximus hero and MSI 4090, my current ram kit is g skill 6400 cl32 and I was thinking about the T force 7600 cl36
Great video thank you for the detailed info you always provide for us ,Can you please help me choosing the right ram for me I'm using MSI b650-P wifi mobo with 7600x and 7900xtx
That is perhaps the most clear explanation of RAM I have heard
Great job
Glad you think so!
32gb is unnecessary for MOST gaming, but even my 9yo knows you need more than 16gb if you want to have open tabs, discord, youtube on 2nd screen, etc 🤠
Hence why we say "just gaming". Remember all that stuff isn't just eating up RAM, it's eating up CPU and GPU resources and lowering your FPS!
@@PCBuilderChannelnobody I know is just gaming. On second monitor, there are dozens of tabs and other shit going on😂
ive been binge-watching on your contents for days... really informative... can i use 3600 CL18 2x8GB as i cannot come across a 3600 CL16 here in the Philippines. or what should i get if im building a ryzen 5700x with an rtx 4060 Eagle OC gpu? hope to hear from you. more power
I hope you are doing well Jason. Just wanted to know if I made a bad choice upgrading my ram to 32gb 3200 by buying an additional 16gb same model of ram with 16gb 3200. Is it better if I just bout a new 32gb 3600?
I dont know if i made a mistake for buying FURY Renegade 32 GB DDR4-3600 CL16 for my ryzen 5 5600 for about 90$ or not, it kinda seemed like a huge price for that
3600 CL16 2x16GB is becoming more rare as DDR4 increasingly moves to the "budget category" and most kits at 2x16GB are now 3200 CL16 (easier to produce). $90 is on the expensive side, but not terrible.
thank you for the answer@@PCBuilderChannel
It’s kinda crazy how cheap Hynix die has become. Just picked up 32 GB 6000 CL30 for 85 bucks.
It's probably an a-die too at that so it has good overclocking potential.
Currently have 32GB Corsair DDR4 3200 CL16 (2 sticks, dual channel) running XMP paired with i7 13700KF (with Peerless Assassin 120 SE), ASRock H670 Steel Legend, and RTX 4070 Ti Super (Prebuilt spec in a sale). Is it worth upgrading the motherboard to a high end Z series (e.g. MSI Z790 Tomahawk Max WiFi) with DDR5 (not really planning on overclocking CPU though) or would it be a waste of money. It would cost around £300-£350 which is pretty steep but would the performance boost, if any, be worth it longterm? Or should I wait till I next upgrade GPU (not for a while)?
Jason Nice video, Can you do a video About The best DAC's to get, Never saw one in your Channel before
That's a great suggestion, will definitely consider it.
The QVL is still very important that you match memory that is compatible with Motherboard and CPU. I recently got burned on this picking up Memory for a B550 DDR4 from Corsair that was XMP profile rated at 3600. I should have apparently looked at Corsair’s website but that kit is just not compatible with B550 boards at that Transfer Rate. While I was able to install OS and games to the system running them was another matter. Starfield kept constantly crashing to the desktop. Running Memtest revealed a ton of errors. After dropping the XMP profile off and running at 2133 was the only time I could get the memory kit to pass. Trying to bump the rate down to 3200 still produced errors. I had to buy a kit that was confirmed compatible with the B550 Chipset. The one I had was only confirmed compatible with the X570 per corsair. After getting the correct kit was I able to run it at 3600MT. So don’t listen to advice that you can ignore QVL and Compatibility lists from these makers else you will get burned like I did.
What brand of board and what CPU you have?
Sounds like you had a bad stick of RAM. Definitely happens as I just had a kit burn out after 2 days. Just send it back and exchange it.
QVLs are marketing now. U see 8000 plus on 4 dimm mobos that are not stable at all
This is going to be good. Since i have a Ryzen 5 5600x i can use the 3600mhz now right?
Yes! Though it is 3600 MT/s :-P
@@PCBuilderChannel... or could it be my Mobo?
Yes, you can typically use up to 4000 mhz in 1:1:1 ratio, some chips can even get to 4400 but that's silicon lottery. But 3600 cl16 or 18 is going to work fine.
@@PCBuilderChannellol, we have given up fighting that fight 😂
@SpoonHurler I have a Ryzen 5 2600 right now in my system. I didn't upgrade it to the 5600x yet. I have it, but I tried to use 3600mhz on my 2600 it was not working
This is brilliant, I am planning to build a new pc (currently have a pre-built) this explains everything really well.
Very exciting! Glad you found this one useful. Good luck with the build!
Hey there! Exciting build I've got in the works! 👍 I've already secured the MSI RTX 4090 24GB and the Y70 case from Hyte. For the motherboard, I opted for the MSI Z790 Godlike MAX paired with the i9 14900K 6GHz CPU. My challenge now is finding a 4-stick RAM kit that hits the desired 7800MT/s and comes in 32GB modules, not the standard 16GB. Budget is flexible, but I'm having trouble locating such high-speed RAM with the right capacity and RGB on Amazon or Newegg. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! 🚀💻

So fast! (;
Accidentally bought CL36 ram for my new 7800x3d build. The same day youtube recommends me this and I was able to cancel the order and buy CL30. Thanks a lot!
I'm doing a build following the channels advice, and despite Bios updates for B650 & X670 motherboards, EXPO continues to give trouble with unstable memory and blue screens. Gone through 3 memory kits and finally used the QVL to select a compatible RAM. Memory Context Restore and Power Down both Disabled appear to be the temporary workaround.
What kit are you using? Have you tried manual timings?
You’re the man cool guy. Haven’t had a gaming PC in 12 years and was baffled by the purported frequency limitation of certain mobos. It appears I have no worries. Thank you for the vital info.
So i just bought 32gb DDr5 60OOmt/s CL40 for a 7600. Do you recommend change it for a faster one?
Hello PC Builder, mind helping me out with my pc upgrade? I currently have a 3070 pairing an 8 year old i5-6600k (obvious bottleneck) so I have been doing research and gotten advice from friends to get the ryzen 7 7800x3d. I will definitely need to upgrade my motherboard to one with an am5 socket, im guessing my ddr4 ram will be done for aswell. So im asking you if the 7800x3d is a good choice for pairing with my 3070, if so what motherboard should be good for it the b650m tomahawk? (or tell me a different motherboard to get) I also havent come to a decision on which ram I want. So any help would be greatly appreciated as I want my pc to work fine and optimized for relatively new games. My budget is around 600-700 dollars.

Also i work a lot with plugins (music edition). Thanks!
Setup:
Rx 6700xt
I3 12100f
Sn850x m2
Huge help! Thanks for the video and insight.
You're very welcome. Glad we could help!
Awesome video Jason, I learned alot. I binge your videos and theres nothing you can do about it!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Hi gents, thanks a lot for the great video. Could you please advice: LG Ultragear 32GP850B 2K Monitor, B550 tomahawk, RTX 3080 (10gb), Ryzen 5900x, SN850 1TB x 2, Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 (4 x 8gb) 32GB. Iam using PC for playing games, do i need to get RAM with higher speed and 2 x16gb or it's enough? Just noticed while playing Cyberpunk FPS is "swimming" all the time between - 80 -58.... Is it ok? Thanks for replies.
This guy is so informative and actually helping us out to pick the best computer in this day and age. Thank you man
You got it, glad that we could help you out! And thanks for watching!
Thank you for this amazing video! the way you explained was entetaining, fast paste and informative. this helped a lot! Got a new sub :)
So glad it was helpful!! Thank you for the sub. Hope you keep enjoying the content
This is BY FAR the best channel out there to build a PC. WoW man, just wow subscribed
Thanks for the feedback! And thank you for the sub. So glad you're enjoying it.
Holy God! This video is so perfect for me! Especially on the lectures about Ram speed and Latency. Thank you very much
So glad its helpful! Thank you for watching
hey dude, so these rams needs to match the fans as well in terms of the height. i'm planning to get Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO but the ram clearance is only 30mm. Do you have a list for these ram and big fan combo? appreciate it!
Really love how you said exactly what works best for 5700x...im on an upgrade streak now. Just got that new cpu and a new cooler now I feel like the missing link is updated ram.
Amazing, congrats on the upgrade! Happy that we could help.
I learned a lot in this video, and you've explained it incredibly well. Thank you so much!
Love to hear it! You're very welcome, thanks for watching :)
Just found this channel, WOW so much awesome information. Learnt so much today watching loads of your videos :-)
So glad you found us! Welcome to the channel
Hey buddy , i found a DDR5 ram 5200 with CL40 , and im going with 4060 but i haven't decided the cpu yet , is this ram good for me ? And also which cpu and motherboard should i go for with a tight budget?
How do you optimize your computer for gaming or video editing? Thanks, and thanks for this video!
Check out our "How to Pick PC Parts 2023" video! That will get you started
@PCBuilderChannel I purchased the Ryzen 7700x bundle from MicroCenter. Should I stick with the G.Skill Flare x5 6000mt CAs Latency 36, Timings 36-36-36-96 or get something better?
There is a mistake in the caption at 13:50. It should say 3600 CL 16 in-line with your commentary. Great video.
Sorry for the typo!
I've really learned a LOT in your video, thanks a lot for what your are doing :D
So glad its helpful! Thank you for watching
U make the best videos, very detailed and explained! Very easy to understand 💪🏼👍🏼 Thank you so much ❤
Absolutely, so glad you're enjoying the content! Thanks so much for watching.
Did I understand it correctly? I have the choice to enable either EXPO or XMP profile on my AMD B650 motherboard. Or, is it just the XMP cause the former is an exclusive option for Intel users?
g skill trident z5 48gb rgb ddr5 still recommend for intel 14th gen? Saw you say to check pinned comments for updates once the 14th gen comes out. Assuming a great choice
hey! You mentioned that EXPO/XMP thing is not that important as I understood correctly. Will it be okay if I ran ryzen 5 7600 with G.Skill Ripjaws (XMP, 6000, CL32)? I am wondering because I can buy it instead of GSkill Flare X5 (which is EXPO, 6000, CL30) for about 15 USD less. Should I even consider it?
I just got hung up on the number of recommended ram sticks, would 3 or 4 sticks running in triple or quad channel not be benefitial?? (I'm on Xeons)
Fresh video right as I needed it. I'm building a new big budget PC and your channel has been the biggest single help. Thank you!
Nice. Best of luck with the build.
Best wishes on your build!! So glad we could help (:
I really like your channel mate, im software developer and it was very informative for me to understand more about the ram and their speeds. I myself am enthusiast when it comes to pc builds, and I was amazed to learn stuff about the ram from the hardware kitchen. I watched two of your videos already but you definately won me as subscriber, I usually watch alot more videos from a channel before to decide to subscribe to a channel. I found your channel by the youtube algorithm for recommended channels, best fit till now. With respect from Bulgaria.
We love to hear it, so glad that you found the channel! Welcome and thanks for the support. Hope you keep enjoying all of the content. And hello from the States! :D
i would watch your videos every now and then but now ive found myself gradually watching you more often because you talk about the things most youtubers wont talk about, i appreciate it alot! I see youtubers say "this is the best ram for gaming and productivity!" but never explain as to why they had that thought so i would not listen to them, but i trust what you say when talking about this stuff!
Thanks for the feedback, glad you appreciate the thoroughness! And thanks for tuning in!
Is it a good idea to follow QVL compatability lists for motherboard/RAM compatability? Or is it fine to just use whatever RAM that the specs of the board say it can push?
Also how do you tell what the EXPO max run speed is for a board?
Ik you said ddr5 for 600+ series 13th and 14th gen, but what do you recommend for 500, specifically the i5 14500?
Hi jason thank you ! Was about to buy a 7200mhz cl40 ram with mediocre timings but your video convinced me to buy 6000mhz cl30 with amazing timings !
Upgrading to a 7800X3D and considering either G.Skill or Kingston Fury DDR5
both are 6000 Expo certified but what it comes down to is should i go with Dual ranked or Single Ranked kits ?
2x16 32gb single ranked / 2x32gb 64gb Dual Ranked
I just added two more sticks of RAM to my older PC so running a Ryzen 3600 with 32 gigs of RAM at 3200 CL 16. I know many say that you should run RAM at 3600, but i didn't have the budget to just grab 32 gigs at 3600 CL 16, so I just put in 2 more 8 gig sticks of what I already had in it.
Excellent video as always. Can't be more clear or precise or concise
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it! Hope you keep enjoying all the content :)
My first time building, I went with a 7800x3d because of a sale, im trying to go budget so I paird it with a asrock b650m pro rs mother board and was looking into the t-force 6000 cl30 ram.
I really need your recommendation!
This is what I’m buying:
Intel i5-12400F
RX 6800XT
I found a deal on the MSI Z690 for $190 but open to other options!
What ram kit should I get if I definitely need 32gb of ram?
Thanks!
Holy smokes! New subscriber, thank you for this!!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching and for the sub! :)
Good info!👍
Just in time Jason!! Keep killing it!
So glad its helpful!! Thanks for watching
I just subscribed so not to miss any of your great content. Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you for the sub and welcome!
Did I miss it or did you forgot to mention which DDR4-kit to buy for the 13600k on a Z-790 board?
What kind of setup you would you suggest to run Davinci Resolve and modern games?
Davinci actually pairs best with Radeon 7000 GPUs. Best of the best production / gaming rig would be a 14700K 7900XTX. More budget option, 13700K. Or you can go 7950X for premium AMD, or 7700 for more budget option with something like a 7800XT
Currently getting back into the PC scene after a long hiatus of over 20 years. The last system I built was an AMD K6 233MMX (lol) so that's how long I've been away. A lot to learn to catch up to modern systems so vids like this are very welcome for me to get my head around things.
I actually started this channel when I came back to pc building after a break and wishes there was a channel to catch me up! Hope we are helpful (:
@@PCBuilderChannel very nice comment, man! You are doing a great job of filling the void!
Hey man Great videos! I was wondering if you could give me a ram recommendation. I recently purchased an Alienware m16 with an and 9 7845hx CPU. However it only came with 16gb of DDR5 ram and I would like to upgrade to 64gb. I know very little about computers and want to get the best bang for my buck. Also if you could tell me how to do this whole over clocking thing would be awsome. Looking forward to hearing back form you! Thaks
13:06 i got a 4070 with a 5800x 3D, do i need the 3600 RAM? already got 3200 leftovers from my last build :/
Thank you so much im currently upgrading to a 4090 set up and i wasnt sure what ram to get, You are the best at this type of content!
So glad we could help!
super clear info. thanks
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching
i saw a LTT video where he explained the absolute latency formula. i watched him explain it twice and still had no idea what he meant. You explained it so much more clearly. I finally get it now. I love how you explain things in a way that non-enthusiasts such as myself can understand. I've learned so much more watching your videos than any LTT or Gamer Nexus video. TYVM!
Glad we can help!
great work and info!! thanks!
